Since Ronda Rousey’s 2nd straight TKO loss, UFC President Dana White gave hints that Rousey would likely retire. Paul Heyman, who is well asserted in the business of wrestling gave his insights on why he thinks Ronda Rousey would be a great asset to WWE.
Heyman spoke with the Fight Society Podcast and here are the highlights from the interview:
“I think the WWE audience would embrace Ronda Rousey with open arms,just her name recognition alone is huge. It doesn’t matter her past two experiences in UFC. All that matters is if she got involved in a story that people could relate to and could sink their teeth into and get excited about.”
“I would personally pay to see Charlotte versus Ronda Rousey. I would personally pay to see Stephanie McMahon versus Ronda Rousey for a completely different reason but why digress. I think Ronda Rousey doing anything in WWE is a natural fit.I’d love to see it and would be happy to discuss with her all of the benefits that she could inure by being a Paul Heyman girl.”
“I tell you what, there are women in WWE, it’s not just Charlotte, that could probably provide a compelling main event against Ronda Rousey. Look at Nia Jax, I mean you talk about someone that could truly make you believe she could kick Ronda Rousey’s ass, Nia Jax is an impressive performer and a hell of an athlete as well.”
“It’s not like Charlotte is the only one who could be paired up with Ronda Rousey. There are others as well. The women’s roster in WWE right now is unparalleled. In the history of pro wrestling or sports entertainment, there’s never been a women’s roster like this.”
