Ronda Rousey issues WWE challenge, teases future wrestling match to signal end of UFC career
The Ultimate Fighting Championship legend appears in social media video calling out WWE’s Charlotte Flair as switch to wrestling ring looks imminent
Ronda Rousey appears to have all but confirmed she is swapping the mixed martial arts octagon for a wrestling ring.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) icon, who is reported to have begun wrestling training, attended the July tapings for World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) “Mae Young Classic” tournament.
And she appeared in a short video clip on WWE’s social media channels this week teasing a future match.
Rousey, alongside her former MMA teammates Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir, was cheering on Shayna Baszler in the all-female competition, which is showing on the WWE Network.
And the trio took part in scripted backstage segment where they challenged WWE stars Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Bayley.
“You name the time, you name the place,” Rousey told Flair, daughter of legendary professional wrestler Ric Flair. “We’re waiting to hear from you.”
