Stephanie McMahon On Talks With Ronda Rousey About WWE Appearance
As noted, Stephanie McMahon spoke at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit in Laguna Niguel, California last week. During the appearance, Stephanie McMahon was asked about UFC Superstar Ronda Rousey working with WWE again.
"We would love to have her at WWE," Stephanie said, via SF Gate. She added that she has "loosely talked to" Rousey about it.
Rousey last appeared for WWE at WrestleMania 31, where she came to The Rock's aid to fend off Stephanie and Triple H. She has since often admitted that she is interested in working for WWE again, and told Rolling Stone last year that she would like to be a part of the evolution of women's wrestling.
"I've seen NXT, I remember Nattie and Charlotte's match for the title," Rousey said last year. "Nattie was actually training with the original Four Horsewomen to get ready for that fight. I have so many obligations, but I really want to find a way to make it happen. I'm a huge fan wrestling, and I would like to see the position of women in the sport continue to improve, so if I can be a part of it, great."
Rousey is scheduled to face UFC Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes for the title at UFC 207 on December 30th.
