For years there was talk of Ronda Rousey possibly signing with WWE, and this year it finally happened.
Ronda has adapted to the world of professional wrestling rather quickly, and she’s currently the Raw Women’s Champion.
Triple H spoke to ESPN about why Ronda decided to make the jump from MMA to pro wrestling, and he noted that Ronda wants to be able to inspire people through her work with WWE.
“I don’t want to oversell the social changes, but Ronda said, “I feel the WWE is the biggest platform in the world for me to affect change.” It’s one of the first things she said to me. She wants to inspire young girls and young people and show them that you can do anything, and she said there is no bigger platform in the world for me to do that with than with you guys. [She said] with UFC, I got so far, but the bigger platform is this because I can go on talk shows, I can do entertainment stuff with WWE, I can do every single entertainment and sport aspect of it and reach the world on a global basis. We go everywhere. That’s a game changer.”
On Sunday night Ronda Rousey will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Nikki Bella at WWE’s first ever all women’s pay-per-view Evolution.
