Ronda Rousey Claims Credit for Women Headlining WWE and Combat Sports Events

TLDR

Ronda Rousey claims that women headlining WWE and other combat sports events can be traced back to her proving their commercial viability. Speaking to SI's The Takedown, Rousey said she is "very aware that women are headlining WWE because of me" and that female athletes making big paydays in boxing, bare-knuckle boxing, and other contact sports stems from what she accomplished commercially. Rousey expressed pride in seeing women's success across combat sports and said she's glad things have changed so much that people forget how they used to be.
