It is fairly certain that either Charlotte or Sasha Banks will go down in history as the greatest female wrestler of all time. Could Ronda Rousey be the catalyst that catapults Women’s Wrestling to new heights, much like Mike Tyson did with Stone Cold Steve Austin in the late 90s?

WWE is constantly searching for mainstream celebrities whose presence will attract eyeballs to the WWE product. Ronda Rousey is ideal in that role because WWE is always looking to ensnare the MMA audience that may have an affinity for sports entertainment.
UFC benefited heavily from CM Punk and Brock Lesnar participating inside the octagon. Ronda Rousey could do the very same thing for WWE!
