Wrestling Inc reports that FOX wants to have Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey on the SmackDown roster when SmackDown Live moves to the network in October 2019. The reason for this demand is due to the feeling that Rousey’s MMA background, popularity and credibility as an athlete will be a major selling point to promote the show.
Rousey will defend the RAW Women’s Title against Nia Jax at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view event that takes place on Sunday, December 16th, 2018 in San Jose, California at the SAP Center and will air on the WWE Network.
