The fans also love the idea of watching another Olympic Gold Medalist grace the arena. She could be the next Ronda Rousey and reach the sky and beyond in the company.
A female equvilent to a Kurt Angle or a Chad Gable in Pro Wrestling? I’d be down to see that. Whether it be WWE, AEW or anywhere else, I’d be down for this. She also seems very down to earth as well which helps.
