Ronda Rousey has been making plenty of waves lately. The one time UFC superstar and somewhat disgraced fighter made quite an entry last night at Royal Rumble confirming signing with the WWE for a run at Wrestlemania.

According to sources in WWE, the company is attempting to put together a match with Rousey teaming with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson against Stephanie McMahon and Paul “HHH” Levesque for WrestleMania on April 8 at the Mercedez-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The idea of the match was first designated for WrestleMania 32 in Dallas in 2016.
“I think I’d rather just not talk about that right now,” Rousey said in a sit-down interview with ESPN.com released just after news broke of her WWE signing regarding her mma losses.
“(Retirement is) what everybody else seems to say,” Rousey said. “I never retired from judo. If that’s what you guys want to think. All I know is that I really want to devote 100 percent of my time to wrestling right now, and whatever people want to call that, they can call it.
“This is my life now,” she continued. “First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt. When I first met with Triple H, I told him, ‘There are other things I can do with my time that’ll make way more money, but I won’t enjoy nearly as much.’”
