Jim Ross Offers Thoughts on WrestleMania 31

Following the big WrestleMania 31 event on March 29 at Levi’s Stadium, Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated released a recap featuring the thoughts of WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross, as well as Diamond Dallas Page and Jake “The Snake” Roberts.

When asked about Brock Lesnar and his immediate future following him losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event, Ross replied:

“We are only one or two creative wrinkles away from Brock Lesnar becoming the biggest babyface in WWE. Lesnar will be so much more effective as the returning, conquering hero. People want to cheer him.”

The former announcer was also excited about the prospects of UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey stepping inside the squared circle to compete:

“Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda Rousey would be a hit at WrestleMania 32. What will happen if Ronda Rousey steps into Stephanie McMahon’s ring? I just loved that line from Stephanie [as the two women sparred verbally in the ring].”

“Ronda took down Hunter with a judo throw, but she never applied the full arm bar on Stephanie. So let’s say Ronda and Stephanie sign a contract to fight at WrestleMania, and then Stephanie explains that her husband will serve as the special guest referee. And, with her money and influence, Stephanie will stack the deck in the McMahon favor. They did some good stuff tonight, I’m already excited for next year.”

Ross also had kind words to say about new champion Seth Rollins, even comparing him [in terms of being heel] to one of the greatest superstars of all-time:

“The great thing about Rollins is he is a beatable heel who will slip and slide his way into successful title defenses. That’s also how Ric Flair defended his title. And Rollins should go right into a feud with Reigns.”
