Ronda Rousey involved in WWE angle with Shayna Baszler

While UFC's biggest star Conor McGregor was front and center getting ready for a fight in another sport, the company's other biggest star spent Thursday and Friday in her own outside the UFC venue.

Ronda Rousey appeared on World Wrestling Entertainment tapings on Thursday and Friday night at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., allegedly just as a spectator watching one of her best friends, former UFC fighter Shayna Baszler.

But as usual, funny things always seem to happen when celebrities are at ringside at WWE shows.

Thursday went relatively quiet, as Baszler won her first-round match in a 32-woman tournament taped for the WWE Network called the Mae Young Classic, named after a woman wrestling star in the 40s and 50s who has become marketed as the patron saint of women's wrestling by WWE.
