In case you didn't know...

Ronda Rousey began as a young judoka and won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. She transitioned to a career in Mixed Martial Arts and embarked on a 12-fight winning streak.

Since then, she has found her path in the world of professional wrestling. A WWE superstar, Ronda Rousey now competes for the RAW brand where she's been suspended in the storyline. Rousey has also starred in a variety of Hollywood films.

The heart of the matter

Ronda Rousey seemed absolutely thrilled to have been conferred with this accolade:

For the first decade of my athletic career, I was at the pinnacle of athletic accomplishment and no one seemed to care. Nothing changed, and then you came along. The only reason why anything that I ever did had any effect on the world is because you took the time to let it affect you.

Rousey went on to dedicate her success to her adoring fans:

Words will never express how humbled I am that you gave me the honor of being the person that made all this possible. I’m not the first person who had the ability to do this, but I am here because I’m the first person you took the time to watch.

What's next?

Rousey has said time and again that WWE is her new home. She has a featured role and in all likelihood, will continue to make history in another realm. Rousey has only been in two televised WWE matches but has impressed on both occasions.
