The trailblazer who competed in the UFC’s first-ever women’s fight will now perform in the first-ever women’s main event of WrestleMania, it was announced Monday by WWE. Rousey will take on Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match for the WWE Raw women’s title.
WrestleMania 35 takes place April 7 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and will air on the digital WWE Network streaming service. A crowd of more than 50,000 is expected.
Rousey, 32, emerged onto the MMA scene in Strikeforce, winning that promotion’s women’s bantamweight title in 2012.
