Stephanie McMahon hoping to bring UFC superstar Ronda Rousey to WWE
Ronda Rousey will face Amanda Nunes at the UFC 207 event.
World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) minority owner Stephanie McMahon is reportedly interested in signing Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) superstar Ronda Rousey for the RAW stable in what is sure to be a money-spinning move.
Rousey, who is the former UFC bantamweight champion, had recently confirmed that her clash with Brazilian Amanda Nunes at the UFC 207 event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on 30 December would be "one of her last". However, she refused to comment on how many more fights are left in her kitty.
Since that admission, speculation has risen on Rousey's next destination with a potential spot in WWE being mooted as it is widely known that the 29-year-old is a huge fan of professional wrestling.
"I certainly hope so. I've got to get her back after she put that arm bar [Wrestlemania]. I'm certainly going to try to get her", McMahon said as quoted by Forbes.
The American Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) has a good working relationship with the WWE company, being seen at ringside for several events as well as taking part in WrestleMania 31 where she stood with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a segment opposite McMahon and her husband Paul "Triple H" Levesque.
However if UFC president Dana White is to be believed, Rowdy will turn her attention towards acting post her MMA career claiming that she loves acting.
"She loves acting, she's good at it and if she dedicates herself to it, she'll be even better at it. I think when she says she's done, she's done. At the end of the day, she stopped doing judo, she moved on to mixed martial arts. I think when she is done with that, she'll probably move onto acting."
Rousey has acting experience having already featured in movies such as The Expendables 3, Furious 7 and Entourage.
