Ronda Rousey Talks Possible WWE Appearance and CM Punk

Current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey recently spoke with Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com. Besides talking about UFC, the two also discussed professional wrestling for a little bit.

Back in May, we noted that WWE is interested in bringing Rousey and her “Four Horsewomen” to “SummerSlam.” Rousey discussed a possible WWE career, following her time in UFC, in addition to using wrestling moves in The Octagon:

“It’s so similar to planning out fight scenes. I was just kind of messing around and thinking about cool moves to do in fight scenes. I really think of WWE like the purest form of stunts, kind of like in movies they say the purest form of acting is theater because it’s live and all in one shot. I feel like WWE is the same for stunt work. I just kind of try to borrow from them a little bit and maybe I can steal some of their stunt work, throw it in a movie. If an opportunity comes up to show up and be a guest host or whatever, that would be pretty cool.”

Rousey also talked about CM Punk’s departure from WWE:

“No one can make you have passion for something if you don’t. I felt that way about judo, it was over. I was over it and didn’t want to do it anymore. If he wants to come back and finds that passion again, I would love to see that but if it’s time to move on with his life then he has 100% of my support in that as well.”
