Booked in a match that was designed to showcase all of her strengths, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion shined at WrestleMania 34, the WWE’s annual blockbuster professional wrestling event.
Rousey was paired up with fellow Olympic medalist turned sports entertainer Kurt Angle to face on-screen authority figures (and real life executives) Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. The bout was a storyline continuation of Rousey’s appearance at WrestleMania 31 back in 2014, when she was involved in a segment opposite McMahon and Triple H again, though that time Rousey teamed with former wrestler and Hollywood megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
