WWE Raw: Ronda Rousey Set to Wrestle Her First Match

Rousey was the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in judo (bronze), which she won at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The former UFC champion will wrestle her first WWE raw singles.

WWE Monday Night Raw is back and on the show for the week is Ronda Rousey-she will make her WWE Raw debut wrestling match, where she will take on Alicia Fox at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

Rousey was the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in judo (bronze), which she won at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She is a former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, as well as the last ever Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion. She won 12 consecutive MMA fights, including six in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), before suffering her first loss, to Holly Holm in November 2015.

She won 11 of those fights in the first round, nine of them by armbar submission. Rousey trained under Gokor Chivichyan of the Hayastan MMA Academy, and Edmond Tarverdyan of the Glendale Fighting Club.

Rousey will give Monday night Raw an extra edge with her an extra edge with her combat skills. UFC is more real-time fighting and it’s more combative as opposed to wrestling.
