UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and Hollywood star Ronda Rousey did an interview with Talk Sport recently to promote the release of “The Expendables 3,” in which she has a role alongside action movie veterans.

During the interview, Rousey had the following to say regarding her heel or face status if she were ever to have a run in WWE:

“Oh I would be a heel for sure. I can’t take the name of ‘Rowdy’ and not be a heel, that would be an insult to the man I pay tribute to with my name – the great Rowdy Roddy Piper. I would have to try and live up to his legacy as much as possible and I can’t do that being a babyface.”

It’s not the first time that Rousey’s name has been associated with the WWE. She has been mentioned on various occasions most notably in suggestions to join the WWE with her faction The Four Horsewomen. She and her group were among the attendance the SummerSlam pay-per-view where they interacted with the superstars backstage as seen on the pic above.
