When word spread that Ronda Rousey was wrestling during a Ring of Honor taping after the Nov. 17 AEW Collision & Rampage show in Los Angeles, speculation started about whether or not Rousey would sign with ROH or Tony Khan’s other wrestling promotion, AEW.
It was an intriguing proposition. Rousey is someone very few people don’t have an opinion about — which definitely applied to her time in WWE, an up-and-down run that spanned five years and ended at SummerSlam this past August. Plus, any hint of a star moving from WWE to AEW or vice versa gives wrestling fans a reason to compare, contrast & debate about the two companies.
Could Ronda work ROH’s upcoming PPV? Would she be All Elite?
Reports eventually told us no. The UFC Hall of Famer enjoyed the pair of independent wrestling dates she worked near her Southern California home, and with AEW/ROH in the area & friends on the card, she decided to work that Friday night in the Kia Forum, too.
Now, Rousey’s pretty much said the same thing, to TMZ Sports while she was just trying to walk down the street:
TMZ: Are we gonna see you doing AEW any time soon?
Rousey: No, no, I don’t think so.
TMZ: How come?
Rousey: You know, just trying to be home with the family and be a full-time mom.
Even before her WWE exit, we heard a lot about Ronda’s plans to focus on family (she and husband Travis Browne had their first child together two years ago, and Rousey is also close to Browne’s children from a previous marriage). So despite these quotes arriving via an impromptu interview, there’s no reason to think the three-time WWE Women’s champ was working.
With all signs pointing to Rousey returning to retirement rather than becoming All Elite, wrestling fans will just have to find other things to argue about. Luckily we’re good at that.

The quarterback’s new contract could pay him nearly $55-60 million annually.
A big payday could be in the works for Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott after his MVP-caliber season. A report from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz via the Speak on FS1 with Emmanuel Acho confirmed that the negotiations regarding his contract extension which is due after this season will make him one of the, if not the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL.
Schultz said,
He’s going to get between 55-60 million. We’ve already seen Joe Burrow get that 55 number, Dak Prescott has an opportunity to reset it. I think the floor is around 55. Both sides highly motivated…he has a no trade and no tag clause…Jerry wants to get that thing done.
If $55 million a year is the floor, Dak Prescott’s long-term contract extension could shake the QB market, and not in a good way. While he deserves every penny for how he has played this season, the contract extensions of QBs that took place before this season have already changed the market because, at this point, teams are setting new records every year with the amount they are paying to their quarterbacks.
Dak Prescott could eclipse Joe Burrow as the highest-paid QB in the NFL
Presently, Joe Burrow is the highest-paid quarterback with $55 million per year, followed by Patrick Mahomes, who makes $52.6 million. Since Schultz has said that $55 million is the FLOOR for the negotiations, it means more or less; the figure is bound to just go up from there.
Dak Prescott (via AP) The insider also stated,
He’s playing like an MVP, he has an opportunity to win the Super Bowl and he’s a Dallas Cowboys quarterback in the sense of (Roger) Staubach and (Troy) Aikman, that’s the type of season he’s having. He has earned it. We don’t see great quarterbacks go to free agency, if he doesn’t get paid, he becomes a free agent at around 31-years-old.
It will be safe to say that Jerry Jones would never let that happen.
Dak Prescott has had 30 touchdowns this season. He ranks first in the NFL in that regard. The Cowboys signal-caller has thrown for 3,892 yards, has 7 interceptions, and a QBR of 71.5, which is the third-best in the league.
Just two weeks back, he was the frontrunner for MVP and after he led the Cowboys to a dominant victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, his stock has just soared. A deep playoff run and a possible Super Bowl appearance would speak volumes and help the QB get additional leverage when he goes to the negotiation table concerning his contract. However, irrespective of it, Dak Prescott will get the bag this offseason.
