I’d say this is pretty “major.”
Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Paul “Triple H” Levesque, appeared on ESPN SportsCenter on Thursday (Aug. 31, 2017) to offer a pro wrestling contract to former women’s bantamweight champion and WWE superfan Ronda Rousey.
Assuming she stops whooping his ass.
“First of all, she’s got to stop throwing me around the ring, I didn't like that very much,” Levesque said. “She’s definitely interested and we’re having conversations. I’ll say it right here on ESPN: If she wants the opportunity, I’d be willing to give it to her.”
That all depends on this.
Rousey is no stranger to the pro wrestling ring, having made a WrestleMania appearance alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, where she tooled Levesque and his real-life wife, Stephanie McMahon (more on that here).
And since a return to mixed martial arts (MMA) seems unlikely, a cushy gig with WWE might be an opportunity too good (and too lucrative) to pass up.
