Ivy Nile Sets Sights on MMA-Inspired WWE Match with Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey is credited as one of the most celebrated combat sports athletes in history, with her success in UFC and WWE. She may have left both in her rearview for now, but current WWE star Ivy Nile would like to have that dance with The Rowdy One once.

In recent interview with Fightful, Nile was asked about the possibility of facing Ronda Rousey in an MMA-style match. She stated that she could hang in with the former UFC champion in the ring, but they were better off as allies.

“Is Meisha Tate still in the UFC? I think the world of her. I love her. I’m a huge fan of Ronda Rousey too. I think I would do pretty well going toe-to-toe, I think we’re better off as allies.”

Ronda Rousey’s last WWE match was an MMA rules match against her close friend, Shayna Baszler last summer. Despite so much history and acumen of both superstars, the match was not received well by the fans.

Rousey then went on to make a few appearances for other promotions including notable appearances in Ring of Honor alongside another of her good friend, Marina Shafir in an attempt to elevate her career.

While she has taken a break from wrestling to pursue other ventures and spend time with her family, it would be interesting to see Ronda Rousey back inside the ring for one more match.
