It’s been reported several times that UFC Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey is a lifelong pro wrestling fan, and has wanted to get involved with the WWE for years. She recently appeared backstage at WWE SummerSlam with her Four Horsewomen MMA group, who were scene helping Stephanie McMahon with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
The issue before with bringing Rousey in, according to the Wrestling Observer, is that that most of the decision makers in WWE know nothing about UFC, and just weren’t familiar with her. With Rousey actually getting backstage and meeting Stephanie, and having some face-time with the roster, the current feeling is that she will get an offer for some sort of on-screen role. Originally, the champ wanted to participate in the SummerSlam PPV itself, since it’s close to where she lives, but plans fell through. It will likely come down to what WWE ants to do with her, what UFC will allow her to do (if anything) and if the timing can be worked out.
