Ronda Rousey left the UFC and signed with WWE in April 2018. Having been in the telecatch organization for a year, the American is one of the stars of the franchise and won the title of champion of the WWE Women’s Championship. However, ‘Rowdy’s’ time in the ring could be shortened by an old MMA rivalry.

According to the English website The Sun, the former UFC champion threatened to leave WWE if the organization hires Chris Cyborg. Also according to the note, the promotion would be interested in signing the Brazilian, who is Rousey's former rival. Therefore, the fighter would no longer fulfill her contract with the company that runs until 2021.
The flirtation between WWE and Cyborg goes back a long way, so much so that the Brazilian proposed joining the organization to finally face Ronda. Rumors of Cris' arrival gained strength, as his contract with the UFC is coming to an end and his future is uncertain.
Rousey lost the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2 kg.) in 2015, when she was defeated by Holly holm. In 2016, Ronda tried to regain the title in a duel against Amanda nunes, but was defeated again. After the two defeats in her career, the American left Ultimate.
In turn, Cyborg reigned at featherweight (up to 65,7 kg.) for several MMA organizations. She arrived at the UFC in 2016 and recorded five consecutive victories. However, the surprising defeat to compatriot Amanda nunes, at UFC 232, in December, took away her position as queen of the division
