In case you didn't know...
Ronda Rousey has her hat in many rings at a comparatively young age. She was a UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion and revolutionized Women's Mixed Martial Arts while there. She eventually made the move to WWE, and after considerable training, was part of a Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestleMania. She teamed up with Kurt Angle, and the two of them were able to defeat Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
She then faced Nia Jax inside the ring at Money in the Bank, but her title hopes were spoiled by Alexa Bliss. Bliss interrupted the bout and took out both Ronda and Jax. She then cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to steal the title.
The heart of the matter
On the show, Ronda was asked about the difference between UFC and WWE. She said that WWE was more like movie choreography than fighting.
She compared it to Broadway, where a lot of people do their own stunts. She said that everyone prepared before they went out and all of the choreography was made up during the fight. She admitted to not being the best at making it up and had to practice beforehand.
"I'm not that good though, a lot of people make it up on the fly, I need some more preparation."
Backstage there were a few Ronda Rousey fans who had come from Beat the Streets and were practicing wrestling. She went backstage to meet them and surprised them as they had not been expecting her.
