Predicting How And When Every Injured WWE Star Will Return

1. Ronda Rousey

To say the state of WWE's women's division hasn't been the same without Ronda Rousey would be an understatement, to no fault of the current women on the roster. WWE spent over a year building her up at the expense of everyone else, so when she decided to take time off following WrestleMania 35, it unquestionably left a void in the division nobody was able to fill (not even the woman who beat her, Becky Lynch).

To their credit, the Four Horsewomen of WWE have done their best to hold down the fort in her absence, but outside of a few feuds between Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks as well as Lynch and Asuka, the ladies haven't been involved in anything overly special while Rousey's been gone.

In other words, the women's division needs Rousey back as soon as possible. However, if what she's said on 'Total Divas' and on social media about wanting to start a family is to be believed, she may not be seen again on WWE TV until 2021 at the earliest.

This is in addition to the hand injury she suffered at WrestleMania, though it's unknown if that would prevent her from making an imminent in-ring return. Either way, it's entirely possible Rousey's baby talk is all a front and she makes a shock return in the Royal Rumble and rekindle her rivalry with Lynch, but it's a lot more likely she'll be out of action for the foreseeable future.
