Ronda Rousey is possibly the biggest name to make her way from the world of combat sports to professional wrestling. She wasted no time adapting to WWE’s style of pro wrestling.

After returning to WWE during the Royal Rumble this year, Rousey feuded with Charlotte Flair. Their first encounter this year was at WrestleMania 38, where Rousey challenged for Flair’s WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. However, she was unable to beat Flair.

We’re more than one-sixth of the company and I need to do my part and make sure more women are at the forefront. Also, I don’t want to say ‘women’s’ in the title anymore.
