It’s been almost 20 months since we’ve seen Ronda Rousey in a wrestling ring for WWE, but she’s been in one a couple times lately for other reasons.
Rousey and husband Travis Browne have been spending some time in the ring, with the latter getting some work in ahead of what would be his pro wrestling debut if he so chose. Fightful Select recently broke some news in relation to the details of the training sessions.
We’ve heard Ronda Rousey tell Natalya that she hopes they meet in the ring again one day, but Rousey has been training of late as well. She’s not alone. Travis Browne has also been getting pro wrestling training in, and actually did some with James Storm as the latter showed off on social media. We’ve specifically heard that Browne has been working on his timing and selling of late and has impressed people with agility for his size. As of this year, Browne was still in the USADA drug testing pool required for UFC fighters, though he hasn’t fought since July 2017. Dana White stated he thought Browne should retire, but he’s not officially been released as of yet.
Rousey herself has trained at least several times that we know of in California over the past several weeks.
Browne competed in the UFC for seven years, going unbeaten in his first five fights and suffering only one loss in his first nine fights. He managed huge wins over Josh Barnett, Alistair Overeem, Stefan Struve and Brendan Schaub along the way.
