What's the story?
WWE's Chief Brand Officer (CBO) and current RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon attended the Web Summit in Lisbon. During her appearance, Stephanie made a stunning proclamation: she wants tennis star Serena Williams in the WWE!
In case you didn't know...
The Web Summit is one of the world's largest technological based press conferences in the world, based on technology, politics and business. Stephanie McMahon attended the show in order to promote the WWE, the Women's Revolution movement, WWE Evolution, and various topics. During an interview session with Kurt Wagner, Stephanie was asked what other high profile athletes she would like to see become a part of the company. Without hesitation, she answered: Serena Williams. The question was asked in relation to WWE's signing of current RAW Women's Champion "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey from the UFC.
Serena Williams represents the Oath's Board of Advisors for Yahoo. Along with being one of the best pro tennis stars of all-time, Serena has shown that her sheer determination, power and dominance make her the perfect candidate to enter the squared circle... someday.
The heart of the matter
After Stephanie McMahon answered the question stated above, she also replied: “I actually happened to be on the same flight as her husband yesterday, but Serena Williams — I mean, the door is open, Serena, I love Serena,”.
What’s next?
A match between Serena Williams and Ronda Rousey would make for one of the most talked about matches, not only in WWE history
but throughout the world on every multimedia conglomerate imaginable. The idea of Serena and Ronda going one-on-one may not be enticing for the hardcore WWE or wrestling fan, in general, this certainly would draw a lot of interaction and fanfare to the WWE; especially if the company were to utilize such a high profile match at WrestleMania.
