The MMA connection to U.S. pro wrestling continued on Sunday night when Bobby Lashley, King Mo Lawal, Stephan Bonnar and Colby Covington were all involved in an Impact Wrestling pay-per-view event from Ottawa, Ont.

In addition, Ronda Rousey has been regularly training at the WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Fla., to get ready for a match that is now expected to take place in April at WrestleMania.

Lashley and Lawal, both Bellator fighters, along with retired UFC Hall of Famer Bonnar, and UFC’s Covington, along with ATT owner Dan Lambert, were involved in several months of storylines on Impact’s television show on Pop TV.
