Okay, stretching a little bit here, as Ronda Rousey isn't exactly a professional wrestler. Even before she was knocked out by Holly Holm in February of 2016 there was a feeling that Rousey would perform in a WWE ring before all was said and done, and that KO loss only intensified the fantasy booking scenarios.

Rousey has never been shy about expressing a desire to one day perform in World Wrestling Entertainment, and with her recent comments about her UFC career winding down, the countdown clock surely can't have much time left on it. As the MMA door closes for Ronda Rousey, the WWE one is going to swing wide open.

Will this be in 2017? Possibly - time will tell. It would be interesting to see the way Rousey would be booked in WWE, as she clearly couldn't be just another individual. I mean, would anyone believe Dana Brooke beating down Ronda Rousey? Nope. She'd also be too popular initially to be booked as a bad-ass heel.

Booking problems aside, Ronda Rousey in WWE is more of a 'when' as opposed to an 'if'.
