At the same time, Rousey said she would not return to WWE on a full-time basis in the future. The comments seemed out of left field, with Rousey having been off television for more than a year and her time in WWE being considered a great success by nearly all measures.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThen, the responses started, with seemingly everyone in the WWE women's locker room giving their two cents. As the tweets and quotes piled up, WWE began referencing Rousey's comments on weekly television programming as fans began to question whether Rousey's comments were legitimate or an elaborate beginning to a bigger Rousey storyline set to take place.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nSpeaking with CBS Sports HQ on Wednesday, WWE legend and executive vice president of global talent strategy and development, Paul \"Triple H\" Levesque, addressed Rousey's comments. He didn't provide much clarity on the matter, but said the world would have to \"wait and see\" if those comments were simply Rousey operating in promotional mode.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\"Ronda is an expert at pushing buttons,\" Levesque said. \"It's a funny thing, when you promote the fight, whether boxing or MMA, part of your job is the fight and the other part is to promote fights. The question for people is, is she promoting or are these her true feelings? I think that is where the rub comes in for most people. I think that's what makes this intriguing. Is this the real Ronda Rousey? Is this the Ronda Rousey she wants you to see? Is this Ronda manipulating people? Or is this just Ronda being Ronda? The world needs to wait and see and find out -- I need to wait and see and find out. I'm just as intrigued as everybody else.
