Ronda Rousey Was Forced To Keep A Secret; Gives Real Reason For Retiring

Ronda Rousey has now retired from the world of wrestling, but in an interview to promote her book, she gave the real reason for her retirement. Ronda Rousey also admitted that she had to keep it a secret over the years.

While Ronda Rousey has now finished her time in wrestling, there were many fans left with a sour taste in their mouth, as it appeared that she ended her time in the ring faster than anyone expected her to. Ronda Rousey ended her time in WWE with her match against Shayna Baszler at WWE SummerSlam 2023, where Shayna Baszler won.

Ronda Rousey has since wrestled two matches for Wrestling Revolver and ROH, but both were one-off appearances alongside Marina Shafir in mid-November rather than a return to wrestling full-time.

In her interview on Never Before Told to promote her book Our Fight, Ronda Rousey spoke about her retirement, not only from wrestling but competing overall. Ronda Rousey said that fans would find out the never-before-told fact that it was her concussion history that made her retire.

Ronda Rousey said that she was forced to keep her concussion history a secret as well so that she would be allowed to continue competing.

“Another would be my concussion history that I had to keep secret for years so I would be able to continue to compete and perform. That’s basically why I had to retire.” (6:26 – 6:37)
