Ronda Rousey, a well-known fan of professional wrestling, has revealed she would love to compete for the WWE Divas title after her UFC career is over.
Per Damon Martin of Fox Sports, the WWE is one of several worlds she would like to conquer when she finally leaves the Octagon for the final time:
I got an Olympic medal, I would want to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all time, I would love to have the chance to be the boxing world champion, and I would love to have the chance to be a jiu-jitsu world champion. I’d love to have the chance to be the Divas world champion and just be the best of everything at one point.
WWE Divas champion Charlotte quickly responded to the UFC bantamweight champion, saying she can take a shot at her title whenever she pleases:
In addition, Superstar Triple H was quick to welcome the 28-year-old UFC star to take part in the brand:
Rousey is currently preparing for a bout with Holly Holm at UFC 193 on Nov. 15 in Melbourne. It will be the seventh defence of her title and, so far, there’s been no fighter boasting the skills to live with the American’s pugnacious style. Holm, a renowned striker but relatively green MMA competitor, will certainly have her work cut out.
As we can see here courtesy of BreatheSport, one of the most enamouring things about Rousey, something which may make her ideal for the WWE, is that she does things with a swagger:
She’s already been involved in the WWE, too. At last year’s WrestleMania event the UFC star cut a brilliant segment alongside The Rock, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. It was one of the highlights of what was a star-studded show and an insight into the kind of dynamic Rousey could potentially bring to professional wrestling in the future.
Indeed, Rousey hinted afterwards there could be some more appearances further down the line:
It’s certainly going to be intriguing to see which path Ronda’s career takes next. Should she beat Holm, as expected, there will be few credible opponents for her to face in the bantamweight weight class.
That’ll be a concern to fans of the UFC, especially with Rousey so keen on taking on fresh challenges and sampling new experiences.
Naturally, the WWE would be lucky to have a name like Rousey’s involved in their brand, hence the speed at which both Charlotte and Triple H have responded to these comments. But at just 28 years old, it’d be a big shame if the champion was to cut short her career in the UFC over the next couple of years given just how magnificent a fighter she is.
