Serena Williams is not just a multi-time Grand Slam champion and a tennis legend, but a dream signing for WWE, too. WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon has spoken many times about her desire to bring Williams into her pro wrestling world.

"I would kill to have Serena Williams, but there are so many incredible athletes who would loan themselves to WWE. Those with strong personalities," McMahon told Sportskeeda in an exclusive interview in 2019.

Although she is yet to join WWE, Williams' first opponent is already waiting for her. WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair has expressed her interest in fighting the tennis legend, who she believes has everything needed to succeed in WWE.

"I also think that someone like Serena Williams would be great too. I think as a woman, she’s just powerful and strong, she can represent. And I think she can bring a whole other demographic of fans and audiences to WWE,” Belair told WWE UK."

WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas has praised Williams, saying she is bigger and stronger looking than most current WWE Superstars.

"Serena Williams is bigger and stronger-looking than 90 percent of pro wrestlers. She’s a tennis player, for God’s sake. She’s got more muscles than Seth Rollins’ got," he told Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade."
