Ronda Rousey “really wanted” a singles match against Becky Lynch in WWE.
Though they famously were in-ring rivals, Rousey and Lynch only ever faced each other once. That came in the main event of WrestleMania 35 when Lynch defeated Rousey and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match. They never faced each other one-on-one during either of Rousey’s stints with WWE.
In a video for LiveSigning to promote her book “Our Fight,” Rousey was asked about her dream opponents in UFC and WWE. Rousey named a fight with Gina Carano and a singles match against Lynch as her choices:
Oh, Gina Carano, 100 percent. I would love that. That’s one I would consider coming out of retirement for, even though probably not best for medically. But it’d be hard to say no to that one, ugh.
WWE? If I could have anybody? Well, I really wanted to have that singles with Becky that, like, you know, constantly got dangled in front of me [but] I never got to have, which you could read about in our book at OurFightBook.com. You can get it out and hear me bitch about that for a couple hundred pages.
Rousey clarified that she’s “definitely” retired from mixed martial arts due to her history with concussions.
After facing Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam last August, Rousey departed WWE. Rousey has said that she doubts she’ll ever go back to the company. She would only do so if things “drastically change” with how WWE is run.
It was revealed last week that Rousey is writing the script for a Netflix film about her life. It’s based on her memoirs “Our Fight” and “My Fight/Your Fight.”
