Serena Williams is one of the best women to grace the sports world. Her work in women’s tennis speaks for itself. She is a 23-time Grand Slam singles title winner in the US Open category. But the entire world is ready to bud her farewell after this year’s US Open. While this may be the last time we get to see Williams on the tennis court, this could also be a jumping-off point for a new career.
What started as an idea by the co-CEO Stephanie McMahon in 2018 may end up happening at last. Dedicated to growing the women’s division in WWE even further, McMahon wants to get Serena in wrestling and it’s not even unfathomable. While Ronda Rousey was a former UFC champion, she also transitioned to the WWE product quite easily. The same could happen with Williams as she is looking to quit tennis this year.

Four years ago, in 2018, McMahon told Insider that their target was Serena for a WWE debut soon. In 2020, she told the magazine that if Williams ever hung up the racket, WWE’s doors would always be open to her. Now in 2022, as Williams prepares for her last US Open, McMahon has some choice words.
The Co-CEO of WWE told Insider, “We’d have to talk to her about that and see what she’s most comfortable being. I think whatever she was, she’d be formidable, that’s for sure. It’s funny, I said Serena, but I left out Venus. Venus is just as much a powerhouse.”
