In a report by ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the 30-year-old has signed a full-time contract with the WWE, which very well ensures his spot in the promotion’s biggest event at WrestleMania 34 in April.
Rousey last fought Amanda Nunes at UFC 2017 back in December 2016 before leaving the mixed martial arts company.
