Ronda Rousey has been making waves lately with not just her UFC career, but also her ties with with WWE. This year at Wrestlemania 32, she showed up with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as well as dedicated a fight to the late "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, but now Rousey wants another title to add to her already impressive resume: the WWE Divas Champion.

Currently held by Ric Flair's daughter Ashley (Charlotte to the WWE Universe), Rousey recently commented on wanting to become Divas Champ at a press junket to promote her upcoming fight with Holly Holm in Australia.

"What I would love to do, I got an Olympic medal, I would want to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all time," Rousey said, in addition to being a boxing world champion and jiu-jitsu champion. "I'd love to have the chance to be the Divas world champion and just be the best of everything at one point."

While having Rousey in the roster eventually could be a potential money-maker for the WWE, it seems unlikely at the moment. Both Charlotte and Triple H, who runs the company's performance center, commented on Rousey's intentions.


Rousey is next scheduled to fight Holm on November 14th. It will be the seventh title defense of her reign thus far.

So fans, would you welcome Rousey into the WWE Universe, or is she better off in the Octagon?
