Ronda Rousey opens up about Holm & Nunes after big WrestleMania debut: ‘I’m so happy I lost those fights’

As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. But, a really successful WWE debut match at last weekend’s WrestleMania 34 doesn’t hurt anything either. That seems to be the case for Ronda Rousey, anyway. The former UFC bantamweight champion, by all accounts, far exceeded most expectations in her tag team match with Kurt Angle vs. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.

After the event, Rousey spoke to ESPN. Not just about her debut, but uncharacteristically, about her losses in the UFC as well. For a woman who seemed openly hostile to the subject in interviews leading up to WrestleMania, afterward she took a much more reflective approach.
