Trending
‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey (12-2 MMA) is an Olympic bronze medalist in Judo and a former longtime UFC Women’s 135-pound champion. She also held the Strikeforce belt and has an MMA base of judo and boxing. Bayley is a former WWE NXT Women’s Champion and the current RAW Women’s Champion.
Rousey has fallen on tough times as of late in her MMA career, suffering back-to-back KO losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, and much like her arch-rival Miesha Tate seems to be eyeing an exit from the Octagon.

That said, ‘Rowdy’ is no stranger to the WWE and the world of pro-wrestling, deriving her nickname from ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper and making a guest appearance at Wrestlemania 31 in March of 2015 alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
Rousey hasn’t ruled out a potential WWE run in the future and considering her love for the sport of professional wrestling and her cordial relations with the WWE, her transition to the squared circle won’t come as a surprise.
Rousey has mostly played that heel in her MMA career, apart from a few recent fights, and would work wonders if booked for a feud against the current RAW Women’s champion, and bubbly babyface, Bayley.
