Ronda Rousey Describes WrestleMania Experience as a 'Dream Come True'; Will She Come Back?

UFC women's champion Ronda Rousey recently sat down with WWE for an exclusive interview where she shared her experience at WrestleMania 31 and whether she will be returning in the future.

WWE.com asked, "With a little bit of hindsight, though, how would you describe the WrestleMania experience?"

Rousey answered, "It was like you were an avid baseball fan your whole life, and you went to watch the World Series and they asked you to come in and pinch a hit, and you went out and hit a home run in front of everybody. It was that level of 'dream come true.'"

WWE then asked, "What was the most intimidating part of being in the ring at that point?"

Rousey replied, "I think it was just everything. It wasn't like I got to go and do some sort of practice, you know, before they get on that level. That was like Day One, Wrestling 101: WrestleMania! That was really hitting the ground running. It was really nerve-racking."

Rousey also shared how it was having The Rock to guide her at WWE's biggest stage.

She said, "Well it's amazing to have someone of his level because nobody could do it better than him. But it's also very intimidating to be in the ring with Rock, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and these huge personalities. I mean, especially the kind of rivalry Rock and Triple H have had, you really have to be another kind of captivating to pull the attention away from them while they're standing in the ring."

WWE's last question was, "Do you think that will be the last time we see you in a WWE ring?"

The undefeated bantamweight champ answered, "You know, I was backstage and I got to talk to several wrestling legends, so many. It's such an over-stimulating day that I forgot who told me this, but he said, "You never really retire from wrestling; you can't. You just step away for awhile." Life is pulling me in a bunch of different directions and I'm forced to step away for awhile. But there's no way, after getting a taste like that, I could never go back in for seconds."

Late in April 2015, UFC President Dana White told The Fight Network that Rousey's appearance on WWE was a "one and done" deal. Rousey's recent statements may give WWE fans new hope that she will be coming back in the future.
