Rounda Rousey starts wrestling training for WWE career after crushing UFC defeats according to reports
RONDA ROUSEY is training for a sensational move into WWE – after her UFC career collapsed – according to reports in the American wresting media.
The MMA promotion built the judo star up as one of the most fearsome athletes in combat sports after just six quick-fire wins.

But the wheels came off with her first defeat to Holly Holm in 2015 when she was stunned with a second-round stoppage.
And – after a year away from the octagon – her heralded comeback was another disaster when Amanda Nunes punched Rousey out cold in just 48 seconds.
UFC boss Dana White has called for his one-time golden goose to quit MMA and her concerned mum has also called for her to retire.
At the peak of her power in 2014 Rousey appeared at WWE’s flagship SummerSlam show where she was interviewed and teased a move into pro wrestling.
A year later at WrestleMania Rousey made her in-ring debut when she teamed up with WWE legend and Hollywood star The Rock to rough up Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon.
After that much-debated cameo the Olympic bronze medallist hinted that she would be returning to the wrestling ranks soon. She said: “We’re just gettin’ started…”
And now, according to fightful.com, Rousey has been encouraged by the WWE to start training with expert coach Brian Kendrick.
Rousey’s best pals and fellow female MMA stars Marina Shafir and Shayna Baszler have close links with the WWE.
Shafir is engaged to NXT star Roderick Strong while Baszler is currently competing in the company’s Mae Young Classic tournament.
