Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has long been linked to the WWE, and the overall consensus backstage at the professional wrestling juggernaut is that ‘Rowdy’ would be a natural fit for the industry.

Rousey comes off of the first two back-to-back losses of her mixed martial arts (MMA) career, a second round knockout from Holly Holm and a 48-second knockout to current 135-pound champ Amanda Nunes, but that hasn’t diminished her value to the pro wrestling world.

Proverbial mouthpiece to Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, was recently a guest on the Fight Society podcast earlier this week and discussed the possibility of having Rousey in the WWE. Despite her recent downfall in the sport of MMA, however, Heyman still believes Rousey could have quite the run in the WWE (quotes via MMA Junkie):

“I think the WWE audience would embrace Ronda Rousey with open arms,” Heyman said. “Just her name recognition alone is huge. It doesn’t matter, her past two experiences in the UFC. All that matters is if she got involved in a story that people could relate to and sink their teeth into and get excited about.”

ronda rouseyHigh-ranking WWE officials such as Stephanie McMahon and Triple H have also expressed interest in bringing the former Olympic Judoka over to the world of professional wrestling, and got a small taste of it when Rousey teamed up with The Rock for a brief encounter with McMahon and ‘The Game’ at Wrestlemania 31.

Heyman went on to say that Rousey is a ‘natural fit’ for the WWE world and that he would like to take her under his wing, much like he did with former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar, and oversee her pro wrestling career as a ‘Paul Heyman girl’:

“I think Ronda Rousey doing anything in WWE is a natural fit,” he added. “I’d love to see it and would be happy to discuss with her all the benefits that she could enure by being a Paul Heyman girl.”

Brock Lesnar Discusses UFC Return With Paul Heyman

Former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE superstar Brock Lesnar will surprisingly make his Octagon return at July 9’s UFC 200 event, and it will be far from a tune-up bout when he steps into the cage against No. 8-ranked Mark Hunt after nearly five years off. Lesnar (5-3) was last seen announcing his retirement

Former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE superstar Brock Lesnar will surprisingly make his Octagon return at July 9’s UFC 200 event, and it will be far from a tune-up bout when he steps into the cage against No. 8-ranked Mark Hunt after nearly five years off.

Lesnar (5-3) was last seen announcing his retirement from the sport after suffering a first round TKO loss at the hands of current title challenger Alistair Overeem at UFC 141 in December of 2011.

Now ‘The Beast’ is set to make his highly-anticipated return to MMA, and in a recent interview with his WWE mouthpiece Paul Heyman, Lesnar revealed the details leading up to his UFC return:

“Why? I guess because I want to, that’s why,” Lesnar said. “And that’s the only reason anybody should do anything, right? Because you want to.

“I’m a big believer in living out your dreams and facing your fears and just facing the reality of I don’t want to be sitting 20 years from now saying, ‘You know what son, you should have done that.’ On the biggest stage of all, I was on UFC 100, so why not be on UFC 200?”.

Lesnar feels like he has a statement to make and will put 1,000% into his MMA return, as well as revealing that it was not UFC President Dana White who made the call for him to return, but rather himself who initiated the negotiations for a return.

How do you feel Lesnar will do upon his Octagon return against the surging Australian knockout-artist Hunt? Will he be victorious, or will he suffer the same fate Frank Mir did in March?
