Ronda Rousey is one of the best mixed martial artists ever and dominated the women segment of the UFC for years. As it turns out, Ronda has always been a fan of professional wrestling. She even took her nickname “Rowdy” after Rowdy Roddy Piper.

In 2014, she attended WWE’s Summer Slam and when asked by Brock Lesnar if she would ever consider coming over to wrestling she said, “You never know.” She later got involved in the match between Stephanie McMahon and The Rock but hadn’t yet solidified her joining the league. She appeared numerous times over the next several years until she finally signed a full-time contract with the WWE in January of 2018.
