Why I think Ronda Won't Come Back

[platypus44]

There has been a lot of speculation about Ronda's return but no real clarification although there are rumors about WWE and acting class.
My take is this.
On one level, she must know that staying with Edmond is a disaster and will expose her to future losses and beatings in MMA. The division is evolving and getting more competitive and she can't keep up with the evolution if she has an inferior coach. But on another level, she is very close and loyal to Edmond and may even see him as a father figure. Plus, Travis is now with Edmond.
The intelligent decision would be to stay in MMA but switch to King's MMA down in Huntington Beach. There are conflicts but I am sure they would be glad to have her and would work it out. In her heart of hearts she knows that this is the smart decision.
But Travis is now with Glendale and Edmond and she is very close to Edmond and it would be a very very painful and awkward parting of the ways. Her mother would also get to say "I told you so."
The one way to avoid this dilemma is to quit MMA and go to WWE, acting, or back to school and enter politics. I think this is what she will do. She left judo in kind of a strange way and I think she will just decide that she has reached the end of the road here.
I hope she stays but I really think it would be dangerous to stay with Edmond.

TL;DR Edmond sucks.

Lol did you really say "get into politics" wtf did that idea stem from

 

[Rondas Pillow]

tldr

I don't even know who he is.

 

[RabbitPunches]

I don't think she is coming back unless Miesha retains her title next Saturday. Then it's a maybe.

 

[papajohns]

Didn't read you're post but I agree. That KO ruined her and she is done.

TL;DR Edmond sucks.

YOU TANK HIM

 

[ThePunisher]

Pretty sure she's not coming back. She doesn't seem to be very strong of character to be able to overcome adversity to climb back up to the top.

lol pretty much my thinking. She's way to childish to enter politics.....Now that I think about it, given the front running candidate for presidency maybe now IS the perfect time to enter politics.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

I think she'll come back if she can fight Miesha for the title. If she loses to Miesha, it's padded room time.

Why Ronda won't come back

 

[Chris John]

Lost @ 'politics' lol

 

[STARSCREAM]

She's just taking time off to bulk up to fight Gabi Garcia in rizin. Putting on pounds!

 

[Tormund]

Disagree, she won't come back but it'll be because her legacy as BW GOAT is already cemented, the only person to beat her got put to sleep by somebody she dominated twice.

Cool theory bro, ...

But ... Edmond has nothing to do with anything. When she lost, she did not lose because of Edmond, just like when she won she did not win because of Edmond.

What she is doing now is recovering physically, and reassessing everything with the big picture in mind. She went into MMA because of money. In 2015 alone she made 14 mil. She no longer needs money, and she no longer needs MMA.

Big picture in this case has to do with things like starting a family which seems to be important to her, and figuring out her career choices after MMA. At the end of the day she may very well call it quits and move on. As much as I will miss the entertainment she provides me, if she does move on, good for her!

 

[FrankieNYC]

What rumors about WWE?
There have been none.
She would be horrible as a WWE performer on any regular basis.
She can't cut a promo to save her life & has no idea how to "wrestle" in that sense.
A few one-off's? Sure

 

[HwoarangStyle]

if she doesnt come back that would be ridiculous. takes 1 loss and retires? my god lol

 

[Irishwhiskey119]

Will you idiots stop making threads like this. You don't know what any of these people are going to do and never will.

CM Punk is fighting. Ronda is fighting.

Just stop.

her winning had nothing to do with Edmond, but her loss certainly did
