The MMA star was stopped by a TMZ reporter at an airport while on her way to catch a flight to Colombia where she is due to film the movie Mile 22.
In the video, Rousey states that she'll be in South America shooting the movie until mid-February. If this is the case, it would rule her out of competing in Sunday's battle royal.
The story also reports that Rousey and WWE have yet to put pen to to paper on any kind of deal.
Hmmmmm..... I don't know what to think. It's not like she is going to say "Yep I'm on my way there now".
ReplyDeleteShe would only have to appear for a short time and then come back for Mania.
These TMZ things are usually a setup. To me, this comes across as a setup to lower people's expectations.
DeleteWhether its intention is to lower the expectation before showing up or doing so to get the word out that she isn't going to be there is the question.
I've been sceptical that she'll be an entrant for a few days now, so am leaning on the latter..
I still think Asuka isn't winning as well, so this has opened things up imo.
I still expect Rousey to win. This feels like a smokescreen. Hopefully it causes her to drift a bit!
ReplyDeleteThey made Asuka look to powerfull to win Rumble. But if it is not Ronda.. i dont see somebody else. Maybe Charlotte, but she already champion.
ReplyDeleteIts first ever Rumble, so i think winner should be most powerfull. It just Asuka or Ronda i think
Charlotte isn't in it.
DeleteThey've made too much out of Asuka being a favourite for me to believe she's winning now.
Nia Jax (to feud with Alexa) or Becky Lynch (to set up a match with Charlotte Flair) is what I'm thinking of right now. The latter wasn't my idea, a couple of people came up with it.
They dont have a lot of women right now, so they can put Charlotte in.
DeleteBut still i think Ronda is favorite here
They've already established that the champions are not going to be in the Rumble, so I don't see how.
DeleteWhat if Charlotte comes out to sit ringside, blindsided by Carmella with an attack/cash in before the rumble even starts? Then Charlotte takes Carmella's spot
DeleteVince Russo doesn’t work there anymore.
DeleteCould it Stephanie? She is ringside now...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to see the reaction if she does win it.
DeleteOn second thoughts...
Can you imagine Stephanie winning to a bad reaction to then Reigns winning? Oh God..
ReplyDeleteHaha, it would make for an interesting Monday morning on Twitter!
DeleteCan't believe 5dimes still haven't put up prices.. if I can remember correctly, the rumble last year they had tonnes of markets, even what range of number each wrestler would come out at!
ReplyDelete5Dimes had a market up in early December. I know there will be some up for Sunday.
