Seth Rollins has a theory about Ronda Rousey’s WWE exit.
The former UFC bantamweight champion became one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling after signing with the WWE following her MMA retirement in 2017.
‘Rowdy’ walked away from the company in 2019 after just two years.
Rousey seemed set for a prolonged second run with the WWE after winning the women’s Royal Rumble in 2022 and picking up the SmackDown Women’s Championship and Women’s Tag Team Championship.
However, she left the WWE again in 2023. The 37-year-old claimed to be retired from professional wrestling, but she has since made appearances in Wrestling Revolver and Ring of Honor.
After the UFC and WWE merged to create a company called TKO, which is worth £17.3 billion, fans assumed they would see more crossover stars moving forward.
Rollins, who is the WWE’s current inaugural World Heavyweight Champion, was recently asked if there are any UFC fighters he thinks are capable of being successful in his sport.
“No, because they don’t have the stamina for it,†Rollins told ESPN.
“They don’t fight every single weekend. This championship goes everywhere. It goes everywhere. It goes to like Biloxi. Especially the top stars over there, they are catered to a certain way.
“That’s great, that’s their style, that’s what works for them, I understand that you fight maybe once or twice a year. You’re crazy if you fight three times a year.
