Ronda Rousey has been one of the most prominent women in WWE for a long time now. Though nobody expected her to bring a lot to the table for WWE after she changed her career from MMA to WWE, she proved out to be one of the best women in the Wrestling industry. Though Rousey has not been on the top of all the women for a very long time now, the Baddest Women on the Planet is not very far from the top.

Veteran woman recently opened up how she helped the Baddest Women on the Planet when she chose to make a transition from MMA to WWE. Former Women’s champion Natalya recently sat in an interview on the Wilde On podcast and revealed about everything she had helped Rousey with. Here’s what she said:

“Three-ish years ago when I first was training with her, I found her to be really motivated. She really wanted to learn everything she could about what we did in WWE. She had done judo, she had done MMA, obviously, one of the pioneer women of MMA. Somebody that put women in MMA on the map. She understood pretty fast that WWE and pro wrestling is a whole different animal.”

“It’s not just going in there and you versus your opponent. It’s like, hey, you gotta make sure you have a good relationship with the girls that you’re working [with]. You have to be able to gel and to trust the people that you’re in the with because you’re giving them your body, and they’re giving you their body. I feel like she picked up on it really fast because she had respect.”
