Backstage Report – WWE Wants Ronda Rousey At WM, Paige VanZant At SSlam

WWE may be trying to get Ronda Rousey for WrestleMania again. Forbes reports that according to sources in the company, WWE is planning to use Brock Lesnar’s UFC return as leverage to get not only the previously-reported UFC stars at SummerSlam, but also Rousey at WrestleMania 33.

Rousey, of course, made a big appearance at WrestleMania 31 alongside the Rock in a segment with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, but WWE wants her for an actual match this year. UFC is said to be potentially open to the working relationship, and Forbes says WWE is “confident” they can get Rousey for the match.

Also in the wake of the news that Brock Lesnar would fight at UFC 200, there were also rumors that the WWE was interested in using UFC fighter Paige VanZant at Summerslam in some capacity.

According to Fox Sports, VanZant’s manager Mike Roberts of MMA Inc., has confirmed that WWE has reached out to inquire about VanZant appearing at Summerslam.

The rumors are true, but Roberts would not make any confirmations about the appearance at this time.
