Does she even need an introduction? For all the skepticism that surrounded Rousey’s pro wrestling debut, the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion is doing just fine in the equally grueling world of pro wrestling.

The most dominant female champion in UFC history lost a large chunk of her MMA fans due to her final two losses and the ensuing move to WWE, which was perceived of being a cowardly act.

However, it’s inarguable to consider Rousey’s contributions as one of the reasons why women are given an equal playing field in the UFC.

Her mainstream appeal is second to none and the former Raw Women’s Champion has only helped increase the business of the WWE.

To make things better, she looks like a better pro wrestler than a mixed martial artist. Rousey may never return to the Octagon the way things are going and we’re sure the MMA and WWE faithful would have no problem with that.
