Shortly after Ronda Rouseymade an appearance at WrestleMania 31 earlier this year, wrestling fans started to speculate about whether or not she would show up at the event again next year. According to reports, the WWEstarted planning a Rousey/Stephanie McMahon match for WrestleMania 32 right after WrestleMania 31 ended. But according to Rousey herself, she isn't so sure she's going to be available for the show.

During a fan Q&A in Australia this week, Rousey was asked about the possibility of her showing up at WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. And while she didn't shoot down the idea altogether, she did say that she will be filming her upcoming movie Mile 22 with Mark Wahlberg during that time period, which might prevent her from returning to the WWE.

"I would love to but I'm going to be in Jakarta filming my movie," she said, before indicating that that doesn't mean she's totally against trying to make a WrestleMania 32 appearance happen. "If I was really going to be there, would you want to know or would you want to be surprised? I think a real wrestling fan would want to be surprised."

UFC president Dana White also spoke about the idea of Rousey wrestling again and, while he stopped short of saying that he doesn't want her to do it, he also wondered why so many people want to see her take part in a staged fight as opposed to a real one.

"Why would you want to see her wrestle," he asked, "when you can see her fight?"

A lot can happen between now and next April. Stay tuned for more information about Rousey's possible return to the WWE.
