The definition of imminent in this case will just have to be "by next year's WrestleMania". Simply put, the WWE wants to be in the Ronda Rousey business. They covet the amount of mainstream press coverage Rousey gets. They know she's a big wrestling fan who wants to work with them. The problem is, she's a mixed martial artist under contract with the UFC. Still, Rousey is the biggest star in the company (save perhaps Conor McGregor at this point), and UFC President Dana White, regardless of what he says publicly, will let her moonlight a little if she really presses for it. Which means her stable, the Four Horsewomen (Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir, and Jessamyn Duke) will likely turn up on WWE programming at some point, even if it's part time. And next time you see them, they will get involved in some sort of match. In fact, Duke may be the WWE's key to securing more appearances by Rousey: struggling in her MMA career, there's a chance they may sign her outright.
