It appears that Ronda Rousey’s UFC career may be permanently on hold after taking two straight vicious beatings. Now, Rousey will set her sights on taking some scripted punches as a professional wrestler. According to Fightful.com, Rousey has been in contact with Triple H while studying and training to become a pro wrestler.
An employee backstage in WWE told us that Rousey spoke to Triple H to set up her appearance with fellow Four Horsewomen members at the Mae Young Classic. According to sources, WWE had referred Rousey and company to current superstar Brian Kendrick for training purposes in Southern California. You may remember that WWE had referred recently released Eva Marie to Kendrick as well.
There was also buzz backstage at the tournament — mainly among WWE employees and contractors — that Rousey’s training would start soon. She’s taken some basic bumps among other things thus far.
Ronda Rousey has appeared at Wrestlemania 31 and Summer Slam ’14, so she is no stranger to the squared-circle. This transition is the appropriate move for Rousey, as her UFC stardom should translate well to professional wrestling.
