UFC is looking to squash rumors that UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey is under contract to WWE after participating in an angle at WrestleMania 31 on Sunday.
The official Twitter account of UFC Tonight, the weekly news and information show of the UFC, issued this statement Wednesday night via Twitter:
Ronda Rousey does NOT have a deal with the WWE, her WrestleMania appearance was a “one-off”.

Following the event, Rousey teased additional involvement with WWE.
The night: Historic.
