RONDA ROUSEY has been offered the chance to become a “Paul Heyman girl” by the legendary WWE manager.
The UFC star continues to be linked with a switch to the squared-circle, with the 30-year-old still yet to make an official decision regarding her future in MMA.

After suffering a second straight TKO loss last December, UFC president Dana White hinted he thought the former women’s champion would retire.
But since her appearance at WrestleMania two years ago, speculation has grown that she is about to join the world’s biggest wrestling promotion.
And Heyman, the official advocate for another ex-UFC champ Brock Lesnar in the company, believes the sky would be the limit for Rousey – and he offered her the chance to use his expertise.
He told Fight Society podcast: “I’d love to see it and would be happy to discuss with her all of the benefits that she could inure by being a Paul Heyman girl.
“I think the WWE audience would embrace Ronda Rousey with open arms.
“Just her name recognition alone is huge. It doesn’t matter her past two experiences in UFC.
“All that matters is if she got involved in a story that people could relate to and could sink their teeth into and get excited about. I think Ronda Rousey doing anything in WWE is a natural fit.”

Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest names in wrestling… And Paul Heyman believes Ronda Rousey would be a similar success
Rousey would be one of the biggest names to ever compete in WWE should she opt to enter the ring.
Her appearance at WrestleMania 31, where she clashed with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H alongside The Rock, was hugely successful.
Rousey was an unstoppable fighting machine for most of her career inside the Octagon, and in similar style to Lesnar, that moniker could follow her into WWE.
However, Heyman believes there are plenty of females on the roster that would provide her with the perfect opposition and make plenty of money for the individual and the company.
He added: “I would personally pay to see Charlotte versus Ronda Rousey. I would personally pay to see Stephanie McMahon versus Ronda Rousey for a completely different reason but why digress.
“I tell you what, there are women in WWE, it’s not just Charlotte, that could probably provide a compelling main event against Ronda Rousey.

“Look at Nia Jax. I mean you talk about someone that could truly make you believe she could kick Ronda Rousey’s ass, Nia Jax is an impressive performer and a hell of an athlete as well.
“It’s not like Charlotte is the only one who could be paired up with Ronda Rousey. There are others as well.
“The women’s roster in WWE right now is unparalleled. In the history of pro wrestling or sports entertainment, there’s never been a women’s roster like this.”
