During Ronda’s time with WWE on-screen, she had a heated rivalry with Stephanie McMahon. The pair even squared off in a mixed tag team match at WrestleMania 34. Rousey and Kurt Angle defeated Stephanie and Triple H.

But with all the animosity on-screen, are Stephanie McMahon and Ronda Rousey friends in real life?

Yes, they are, and Stephanie was involved in the talks involving bringing Ronda Rousey to WWE. They have been seen at multiple events outside the ring along with McMahon’s husband, Triple H.

WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon has spoken of her admiration for Ronda Rousey in the past. She tweeted in August 2021:

Their friendship remains and will no doubt be the catalyst for Ronda Rousey’s return to WWE one day.

When will Ronda Rousey return to WWE?

The WWE Universe has been hoping that Ronda Rousey will one day return to the promotion. The door is open for “The Baddest Woman on the Planet” to return whenever she is ready.

Earlier this year, Stephanie McMahon spoke to TMZ about the prospect of the former RAW Women’s Champion returning:

Right now in WWE, there are plenty of new opponents for Ronda to face, including Bianca Belair and Queen Zelina. WWE could even pick up from WrestleMania 35, where she suffered a controversial loss at the hands of Becky Lynch. The latter returned from maternity leave and became a champion again, setting up the perfect stage to renew the duo’s rivalry.
