Between the new graphic novel and writing her own biopic for Netflix, any imminent return to wrestling seems unlikely for Rousey, whose last WWE match took place almost a year ago at SummerSlam 2023, when she lost to former tag team partner Shayna Baszler in a mixed martial arts match. Rousey did perform three more matches after leaving WWE, but hasn't wrestled since appearing for Tony Khan's "ROH on HonorClub" alongside longtime friend Marina Shafir in November.

When asked by Wrestling Inc. what changes would need to be made that could incite her to return to WWE, Rousey cited the chaos that comes with performing weekly wrestling TV, in which wrestlers often don't know who they're working with until the day of the show, or see their matches changed, cut down, or even eliminated entirely at the last minute. That's the kind of environment Rousey would like to see reformed in favor of the ability to plan shows and rehearse matches in advance. Rousey also didn't rule out the possibility of competing in other wrestling promotions in the future. For the time being, however, her creative plans appear to lie firmly outside the squared circle.
