ORIGINAL: Current WWE RAW women’s champion and former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey posted the following message to Natalya, praising her for their match during the Christmas-Eve edition of Monday Night RAW. Rousey said,
“@natbynature this Christmas I am so thankful and so lucky to have you as a friend, mentor, and contender. Thank you for guiding me through every step of this journey. You trained me and helped me improve to challenge yourself even more. To push the women’s division even farther. You bring out the best in everyone, because you aspire to be the best of the best. You live for the challenge, and that’s why you’re a real champion.”
Very proud of our match @RondaRousey for so many reasons. I only hope we can do it again. 🙏 https://t.co/TqTS64Jnvr
