Why Serena Williams appearing at WrestleMania 35 would be interesting

A WWE official recently made comments that the organization is keen on acquiring one of the world's greatest stars, Serena Williams. What suggestions could this have for WrestleMania 35 and WWE's current cross-sport whiz, Ronda Rousey?

As per a report by Yahoo Finance's Reggie Wade, WWE Chief Brand Officer, Stephanie McMahon, made some intriguing comments about the Tennis Grand Slam Champion at Web Summit 2018 in Lisbon.

When asked about current WWE Superstar and current Raw Women’s champion Ronda Rousey and what other high profile female athlete she would like to bring into the company, McMahon answered: Serena Williams.

“I actually happened to be on the same flight as her husband yesterday, but Serena Williams – I mean, the door is open, Serena, I love Serena,” she said.

It is really exciting as McMahon basically offered Serena Williams, one of the greatest stars of sports, a spot in WWE.

Before you begin thinking this was simply an exposure move, recollect WWE's history with cross-sports limited time stars. This is an organization which acquired Ronda Rousey from UFC, had Rob Gronkowski make an appearance at WrestleMania 33, and even placed Jersey Shore's Snooki in a title bout at WrestleMania 27.

Most would agree that there might really be something more to Stephanie McMahon's offer than only an attention stunt.

Wade goes ahead in his article to theorise what that something more might be. In particular, regardless of whether the company is looking to make a blockbuster match between Serena Williams and Ronda Rousey, just the news about something like this happening calls for some attention.

Her [Williams’] power and dominance have been one of her trademarks on the tennis court, and apparently McMahon believes that could translate to the wrestling ring. A possible Ronda Rousey vs Serena Williams would likely be the most covered and talked-about women’s wrestling match of all time, but only time will tell if that will ever happen.

There's positively no uncertainty a Williams versus Rousey match would be the headliner of any WWE event, even an event as big as WrestleMania 35.

Be that as it may, how about we pause for a minute to recollect the potential circumstances WWE could be planning to bring Serena Williams into the ring.

Williams is right now tennis' greatest star, and after Grand Slam wins, Williams will have an open door to other opportunities. Wrestling sadly may be far down that rundown of possibilities, given its inborn injury chance and huge time responsibility.

While unfortunately it's really unlikely Serena Williams will fight inside the WWE ring, it doesn't imply that she may not show up at a show like WrestleMania 35 on the off chance she chooses to take McMahon for a little banter.

I could without much of a stretch imagine a situation where Williams embeds herself into a promotion at WrestleMania, similar to Ronda Rousey's WWE appearance with The Rock at WrestleMania 31.

Williams could without much of a stretch jump over the blockade to go head to head with any number of WWE stars, from Rousey herself to Sasha Banks, Charlotte, or even Becky Lynch.

Envision how extraordinary a Lynch versus Williams encounter could be if the SmackDown women's hero starts to proclaim herself the greatest female star in all of sports, possibly inspiring the wrath of the tennis legend.

Regardless of who she stands up to in the squared circle, without a doubt, any such in-ring appearance by Williams would unquestionably be the most discussed topic.

McMahon's remark surely is a fascinating topic to ponder as we head towards WWE's greatest show of the year.
