Ronda Rousey Opens Up About Postpartum Journey & Comeback

Ronda Rousey and her husband, Travis Browne, welcomed their first daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanip?, in September 2021. Taking to Instagram, Rousey opened up about her battle with body confidence ever since she became a mom. The images shared by the former WWE Superstar have never been shared before, as Rousey only now feels confident to share her body before and after giving birth.

“I was afraid of people comparing my post-baby bod to my fight-camp form in a cruel way. Now it’s obvious the one unfairly comparing was me – holy s*** what an idiot I was, I’d be so proud to get back to that point now.”

Rousey and Browne recently welcomed their second daughter, P?’?, into the world, and the UFC legend intends to be “more brave” by sharing her recovery online. The former Superstar’s hope is that her sharing will show others worrying about their own bodies post-birth that they’re not alone.

Rousey hasn’t competed for WWE since SummerSlam 2023, but the fighter/Superstar is ready to get back to training. Rousey closed her post by teasing a “mutha f***** montage,” leaving fans excited what’s to come.

Rousey has been vocal about her issues with WWE’s management during her tenure, but has competed a handful of times in other promotions, including ROH. It remains to be seen whether Rousey’s training ‘montage’ results in an in-ring return for the Baddest Woman on the Planet.
