>> [MUSIC]
>> ALL THIS WEEK, EVERYBODY'S
BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
HISTORICAL MAIN EVENT.
>> IF YOU ASK ME LAST YEAR AT
WRESTLEMANIA IF THAT I'D BE ABLE
TO LIKE BE AT MAIN EVENT NEXT
YEAR, I'LL BE LIKE, "MAYBE
SOMEDAY.
THAT'D BE COOL."
COMING TO WWE IS THE FIRST TIME
OF MY LIFE THAT, LIKE, I'M
ACTUALLY HAVING FUN AND ENJOYING
THE EXPERIENCE WAS THE PRIORITY.
>> THE RUMORS ARE TRUE.
RONDA ROUSEY IS HERE.
>> I JUST SNOWBALLED INTO
SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.
>> YOU CANNOT ARGUE IT, IT'S
BEEN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE HOW
QUICKLY RONDA ROUSEY WAS ABLE TO
ADAPT TO BEING A DOMINANT WWE
SUPERSTAR.
>> I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER
REALLY BE ABLE TO BE SUCH LIKE A
LARGE PLAYER IN ALL OF THIS.
>> WE SEE RONDA ROUSEY
CONTINUING TO PROVE IT WEEK IN
AND WEEK OUT THAT SHE BELONGS AT
THE FOREFRONT OF THE WOMEN'S
REVOLUTION.
>> I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU
[INDISTINCT]
>> THANK YOU.
>> I'M SO HAPPY AND IMPRESSED.
>> IT JUST ENDED BEING SO MUCH
MORE TO IT THAN I THOUGHT.
I'M NOT HERE TO GET CREDIT FOR
ANYTHING, I'M HERE TO HAVE HIS
BACK.
I WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD AND I
CAN FIGHT FOR IT.
>> I FEEL, LIKE, IT'S KIND OF
UNFAIR THAT I GET TO ENJOY THIS
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.
GOING FROM PURELY BEING
COMPETITOR TO A COMPETITOR, AND
AN ENTERTAINER TO PURELY AN
ENTERTAINER, IT JUST--IT'S JUST
SO MUCH FUN.
I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE WWE
WHEN I WAS A KID, AND I REMEMBER
HOW IT MADE ME FEEL.
AND THAT'S WHAT MADE ME, LIKE,
IDOLIZED BEING TOUGHEST, BADDEST
FIGHTER IN THE WORLD, YOU KNOW.
HULK HOGAN WAS THAT TO ME WHEN I
WAS A KID.
I STARTED DOING MY OWN
PRO-WRESTLING STYLE OF PROMOTION
FOR WOMEN'S MMA IN THE BEGINNING
AND I WAS LOOKING A LOT AT
"ROWDY" RODDY PIPER.
WHAT I SAW IN PIPER WAS ZERO
FEAR OF CRITICISM.
>> BECAUSE I WAS ROWDY BEFORE
ROWDY WAS COOL.
>> I TOOK HIS FILE AND BROUGHT
WOMEN TO THE UFC WITH IT.
>> SHE BECAME A HUGE STAR HERE
AND NOT ONLY DID SHE CHANGE THE
WAY WE LOOK AT WOMEN, SHE
CHANGED THE WAY THE WOMEN LOOK
AT WOMEN NOW.
>> I ALWAYS CALLED RONDA, LIKE,
SHE WAS LIKE A JUGGERNAUT, LIKE
SHE JUST WAS THIS UNSTOPPABLE
JUGGERNAUT THAT YOU COULDN'T DO
ANYTHING ABOUT.
>> AND I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT I
HAVE TO BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD
AT MY WORST DAY.
>> IN OUR HEADQUARTERS, WE'VE
DEDICATED A CONFERENCE ROOM TO
EVERYBODY WHO HAD HUGE IMPACT ON
COMBAT SPORTS.
WE HAVE A MUHAMMAD ALI ROOM AND
THERE IS A RONDA ROUSEY
CONFERENCE ROOM HERE, THE ROOM
WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
CHANGE THE WORLD IN SOMETHING,
LIKE, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS,
COMPLETELY CHANGE THE SPORT.
>> IT WAS AMAZING AND IT WAS
FUN, AND IT WAS OVER STIMULATING
AND EXHAUSTING.
WHAT A--AND EXHAUSTING IN A
GREAT WAY BUT IT STARTED TO BE
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
BEING PERFECT WASN'T GOOD
ENOUGH.
EVERYTHING TO THE ABSOLUTE
EXTREME.
THE EXTREMES OF HAPPINESS.
THE EXTREMES OF EXHAUSTION AND
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
>> [MUSIC]
>> I STARTED FALLING BACK IN
LOVE WITH WRESTLING WHEN SHAYNA
AND JESSAMYN, AND MARINA, WE
WERE ALL LIVING TOGETHER.
WE WOULD GO TO THE GYM AND BEAT
THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER ALL
DAY AND THEN COME HOME AND WE'D
WATCH WWE.
IT WAS ACTUALLY OUR FANS THAT
FIRST STARTED CALLING US THE
FOUR HORSEWOMEN.
>> I STARTED WORKING ON THE
INDIE'S AND SHE WOULD COME TO
SOME SHOWS.
I THINK SHE JUST ALWAYS HAVING
FUN.
>> RONDA WOULD GO AND WATCH HER,
SHE'S LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, MOM,
THIS STUFF IS SO MUCH FUN."
AND I LOOKED AT HER AND I SAID,
"YOU SHOULD BE DOING THIS
THING."
>> WRESTLEMANIA 31, THAT
ACTUALLY WASN'T SOMETHING FOR
PROMOTION.
THAT WAS LIKE A KIND OF LIKE
MINI VACATION.
AND I GOT TO, LIKE, SPEND THE
DAY WITH MY FRIENDS.
>> [INDISTINCT]
WHOA.
>> [MUSIC]
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> THE ONLY THING I WAS REALLY
NERVOUS ABOUT IS I KNEW I HAD TO
JUMP OVER THE BARRICADE.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> I WAS HOLDING BACK THE
BIGGEST, LIKE, CHEESE FACE GRIN
THE WHOLE TIME BUT DWAYNE CAME
OVER.
I WAS LIKE, ON THE INSIDE.
I WAS, LIKE, "IT'S MY TURN."
I WAS SUCH A DORK.
>> OH, AND LOOK AT RONDA.
RONDA TURNED DOWN THE GAME.
OH, NO.
OH, OH, OH, NO.
SHE'LL BREAK HER ARM.
>> BAD, BAD CHICK RIGHT THERE.
>> IT WAS UNTIL YEARS LATER THAT
LITTLE PLANT STARTED TO SPROUT
INTO SOMETHING.
>> [MUSIC]
>> SO, MY WEDDING WAS COMING UP
AND I WAS THINKING LIKE, "WHAT?
DO I REALLY WANNA DO THIS
BACHELORETTE PARTY?
LIKE, WHAT'S THE PARTY TO ME?"
>> ONE DAY, I GOT A CALL ABOUT
HER WANTING TO COME FOR HER
BACHELORETTE PARTY AND COULD SHE
COME TO THE PC WITH HER
GIRLFRIENDS AND TRAIN AT THE PC
BECAUSE THERE'S ALSO
[INDISTINCT]
FANS.
>> [INDISTINCT]
HAPPENED AND WE STAYED AT THE
PERFORMANCE CENTER FOR ANOTHER,
LIKE, THREE OR FOUR DAYS.
>> I LOVED IT AND I WAS LIKE, "I
KIND OF WANNA DO IT.
IT'S KIND OF FUN."
>> THERE'S MOMENTS IN THIS
BUSINESS WHERE THERE ARE--THESE
ATHLETES HAD COME IN THAT
THEY'RE LIKE, "I'LL GIVE IT A
SHOT, YOU KNOW.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE AN
INTERESTING, THING, YOU KNOW.
AND THEY COME IN FOR A TRYOUT
AND YOU SEE THIS THING WHERE
THEY LIKE, "YEAH.
I GOT TO--I GOT TO DO THIS."
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> YOU JUST SEE IT TAKE THEM.
I COULD SEE IT TAKE RONDA.
>> AFTER I GOT MY LITTLE TASTE
OF TRAINING AT THE PERFORMANCE
CENTER, I TALKED TO, YOU KNOW,
RODERICK STRONG WHO IS MY BEST
FRIEND'S HUSBAND.
AND HE SET ME UP TO TRAIN WITH
BRIAN KENDRICK.
BRIAN WAS VERY PATIENT WITH ME
HAVING TO LEARN CERTAIN THINGS
BUT HE WAS ALSO VERY OPEN-MINDED
IN NOT TRYING TO MAKE ME A
TRADITIONAL WRESTLER AND TRYING
TO TAKE WHAT I HAVE AND HELP IT
APPLY INTO THIS WORLD
[INDISTINCT]
TRYING TO MAKE ME INTO
SOMETHING I'M NOT.
>> WHY WOULD YOU DO A TOP
WRISTLOCK WHEN YOU [INDISTINCT]
>> PERFECT.
WHEN YOU HAVE BUTTON, THAT IS
WHEN YOU DO YOUR BEST WORK.
SHE HADN'T SIGNED YET WITH THE
COMPANY AND SO SHE JUST WANTED
TO SEE IF SHE LIKED IT.
FOUND SOMETHING INSIDE OF
HERSELF THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW SHE
HAD.
LIKE, I THINK I'M REALLY GOOD AT
THIS.
AND THEN TRULY ENOUGH SIX MONTHS
LATER, SHE WAS APPEARING AT THE
RUMBLE.
>> [MUSIC]
>> ASUKA IS GOING TO
WRESTLEMANIA.
>> I WAS REALLY, REALLY FOCUSED
ON WHAT I WAS DOING.
IT'S NOT FEAR.
IT'S JUST THE HEIGHT AND
AWARENESS OF THINGS.
>> WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT.
>> WHAT?
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> [MUSIC]
>> RONDA ROUSEY IS HERE.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> OH, MY.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> THE THREE MOST POWERFUL WOMEN
IN WWE JUST MET ONE OF THE
BADDEST WOMEN ON THE PLANET
EARTH.
>> THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
INCREDIBLE.
>> ROWDY RONDA ROUSEY IS HERE.
>> CONGRATS, GUYS.
CONGRATS.
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M GOOD.
OH, MY GOD.
I'M SO HAPPY.
>> [INDISTINCT]
>> I KNOW FROM BEING IN WOMEN'S
LOCKER ROOM FOR 10 YEARS THAT
WOMEN CAN BE VERY TERRITORIAL
AND, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST ANYBODY
SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN OUR WORLD.
RONDA DIDN'T ACT ENTITLED, SHE
ACTED VERY APPRECIATIVE OF US.
>> THIS IS SO GOOD.
>> LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT GO A
LONG WAY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SOME
OF THE GIRLS WERE LOOKING AT IT
LIKE, "OKAY.
RONDA'S COMING IN HERE AND SHE'S
TAKING OUR SPOT."
BUT FOR ME, THE WAY I ALWAYS
LOOKED AT IT IS, "IF RONDA CAN
BRING MORE EYES TO OUR WOMEN'S
DIVISION AND GET MORE PEOPLE
TALKING ABOUT THE WOMEN'S
DIVISION, IT'S JUST ANOTHER
FEATHER IN OUR CAP TO DRIVE THE
WOMEN'S DIVISION FORWARD."
>> THERE'S BREAKING NEWS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW
CONCERNING THE SITUATION WITH
RONDA ROUSEY.
>> HER NOTORIETY, IT'S JUST
GONNA TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL
WHERE ALL OF THESE WOMEN ALL OF
A SUDDEN, NOW THEIR PLATFORM
[INDISTINCT]
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> CHEERS.
>> [INDISTINCT]
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> OH, WOW.
THANKS.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHAT
I'M REALLY MEANT TO DO.
AND ENOUGH WORK AND TIME, I CAN
MASTER ANYTHING THAT I SET MY
MIND TO.
>> [MUSIC]
>> THIS EXACT RING THAT I'M
SITTING IN RIGHT NOW WAS WHERE
WE PREPARED FOR WRESTLEMANIA.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHERE WE
[INDISTINCT]
IN WRESTLEMANIA.
WHAT?
>> THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A
WOMEN'S MATCH THAT HAS BEEN THE
MAIN EVENT OF WRESTLEMANIA.
>> OKAY.
>> SO, JUST KIND OF--KIND OF GET
ME--
>> I'LL FIX THAT NEXT YEAR.
>> WELL, THE FUNNY THING IS JUST
THAT, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY AT
THE TIME THAT RONDA WAS WITH US,
THERE WAS ALL THIS TALK ABOUT
THE EQUALITY OF PAY IN SPORTS,
YOU KNOW.
TENNIS PLAYERS WERE MAKING LESS
MONEY THAN THE MALE TENNIS
PLAYERS.
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON, NBA
[INDISTINCT]
AND RONDA ROUSEY WAS MAKING
MORE THAN ALL THE MEN WHO FOUGHT
IN THE UFC WHEN SHE WAS FIGHTING
HERE.
SO, IF SHE'D LITERALLY BROKE
EVERY RULE AND CRUSHED EVERY
BARRIER THERE WAS--
>> RONDA WAS THE CATALYST THAT
MADE WOMEN'S MMA EXPLODE.
SHE JUST WANTS TO ELEVATE WOMEN
IN THE SPORT, IN THE PLATFORM,
IN EVERYTHING.
SHE WANTS TO JUST ELEVATE IT.
SHE WILL DO IT.
>> YEAH.
I JUST WANNA EARN YOUR RESPECT
IN THIS RING.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> AND WE'VE DONE THE ONE THING
WITH HER, BUT THAT'S ONE THING.
NOW, IT'S YOUR FIRST MATCH EVER.
TO USE THE FIGHT ANALOGY, IT'S
THE TYSON LINE OF, "EVERYBODY
GOT A PLAN UNTIL SOMEBODY GETS A
PUNCH IN THE FACE," RIGHT?
SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE GO
CRAZY AND YOU GO, HOLY --
AND YOUR -- PUCKERS UP AND YOU
CAN'T MOVE.
>> [MUSIC]
>> YOUR FIRST PROFESSIONAL
WRESTLING MATCH IS GONNA IN
FRONT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
PEOPLE WHO WORKED THEIR WHOLE
LIVES TO HOPEFULLY WRESTLE IN
WRESTLEMANIA.
SHE'S DOING IT ON HER FIRST GO.
>> MAN, YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT
PRESSURE AND THE WEIGHT OF THE
WORLD ON SOMEBODY'S SHOULDERS,
HOW MUST RONDA ROUSEY BE FEELING
RIGHT NOW?
>> SHE KNEW THAT EVERYBODY WOULD
BE WATCHING HER.
SHE KNEW THAT ALL EYES WERE
GONNA BE ON HER, AND THEY WERE.
AND SHE KNEW THAT SHE HAD TO
PERFORM.
>> GO GET THEM.
>> I WILL.
OKAY.
>> GO GET THEM.
DON'T LET ANYBODY FOLLOW YOU.
>> AT WRESTLEMANIA, I GOT
TOTALLY LOST IN IT.
DAMN.
THE SOUND IN HERE.
>> [MUSIC]
>> WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO
SOMETHING, I'M INTENSE AND ALL
THE STUFF, LIKE, I WAS BEHIND
THERE IN THAT LITTLE MISTING AND
BOUNCING AROUND.
I'M GETTING THAT MOOD.
I'M LIKE A PAVLOVIAN DOG, YOU
KNOW.
LIKE, I'M LIKE IN THE MOOD.
>> TAKE IT FROM THERE.
>> UH-HUH.
I JUST REMEMBER LIKE BEING ALL
SERIOUS AND LIKE, "OKAY.
I'M GONNA DO IT.
I'M GONNA DO IT."
AND THEN--
>> [MUSIC]
>> STARTING TO SINK IN A LITTLE
BIT?
>> YEAH.
LITTLE BITS AT A TIME.
I COULDN'T HELP IT, LIKE IT--MY
SMILE ESCAPED BECAUSE I WAS JUST
SO HAPPY AND SO BLOWN AWAY BY
WHAT I WAS SEEING.
>> LIKE A GENUINE SMILE.
SHE'S GENUINELY HAPPY.
WE'RE JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME.
>> IN SOME OF THOSE MOMENTS,
SHE, KIND OF, REALIZED THAT SHE
DID BELONG.
>> WELL, I WON'T TAKE CREDIT,
BUT I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT
SAID ENJOY THE MOMENT.
IT'S ALL I THINK.
I THINK [INDISTINCT]
ON HER A LITTLE BIT.
>> IT'S NOT WEIRD AT ALL.
OH, MY GOD.
VINCE HAD SOME VERY UNIQUE
ADVICE FOR ME.
"YOU SOAK IT ALL IN AND YOU LET
THEM SOAK YOU IN TOO."
HE SAID THAT THE WHOLE WORLD
WANTS TO HUG ME WHEN I SMILE.
>> VERY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE I GOT TO
ENJOY ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS
AND NOT LET IT BE OVERSHADOWED
BY THE NERVES.
THIS IS A GOOD ONE RIGHT HERE.
WRESTLEMANIA IS FUN.
>> GO HAVE FUN.
>> UH-HUH.
>> THE GOLDEN RULE, DON'T FORGET
TO BREATHE.
>> OKAY.
OKAY.
>> HAVE FUN.
>> [MUSIC]
>> I'VE BEEN MAXED OUT ON THE
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THAT I CAN
FEEL REALLY.
WHEN I FEEL WHAT PEOPLE CALL
NERVES THAT FLUTTERY FEELING IN
YOUR CHEST.
FOR ME, THAT'S LIKE THE REVVING
OF THE ENGINE OF LIKE A CAR
BEFORE IT TAKES OFF.
THAT FEELING, THAT NERVOUSNESS,
THAT ENCOURAGES ME.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO MY BODY
BEFORE IT DOES GREAT THINGS.
>> [MUSIC]
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE ONE OF THE
BIGGEST STARS IN THE WORLD HAVE
HER WRESTLEMANIA DEBUT.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> HERE COMES ROUSEY.
RONDA ROUSEY IS UNLEASHED.
ROUSEY WANTS HARDER.
RONDA ROUSEY IS SQUARING OFF
WITH THE 14-TIME WORLD CHAMPION.
>> HEY.
HEY.
>> AND ROUSEY LOADING ON TRIPLE
H.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> NO.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> OH, NO.
>> ARE YOU SERIOUS?
>> RONDA WANTS TO TEAR
STEPHANIE'S ARM OFF.
>> NO.
NO.
PLEASE.
[INDISTINCT]
>> [MUSIC]
>> [BELL RINGING]
>> HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS BY
SUBMISSION KURT ANGLE AND
"ROWDY" RONDA ROUSEY.
>> [MUSIC]
>> ONCE THE MATCH WAS OVER, I
WAS LIKE, "OH, DEAR GOD.
THANK YOU, JESUS."
AND I WAS, LIKE, SITTING IN MY
SEAT LIKE, "OH.
THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.
I NEED A BEER."
I KNOW MY WIFE AND SEEING THAT
SMILE ON HER FACE, I WAS
LIKE--THAT WAS--THAT WAS A GREAT
MOMENT.
>> IT WAS SO COOL.
IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE, AND I
THOUGHT THIS HAS GOT TO BE GREAT
FOR HER.
>> AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
NIGHT FOR THIS YOUNG LADY AS HE
EMBARKS ON HER CAREER HERE IN
WWE.
>> PEOPLE TRY TO GIVE ME TO RANK
MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS ALL THE TIME.
BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE FUNNEST
DAYS OF MY LIFE.
>> RONDA.
>> HEY.
>> --
>> IT MADE ME FEEL INSPIRED.
SHE DID SO WELL, AND I THINK SHE
MADE US ALL WANNA BE BETTER.
>> YOU ARE LEGIT.
YOU ARE SO SPECIAL AS YOU WERE
AT THAT OTHER STUFF.
>> THAT'S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
NOW AS COMPARED TO BEFORE.
MMA IS A VERY RECKLESS SPORT.
IN WRESTLING YOU LIVE FOREVER.
>> [MUSIC]
>> THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS AFTER
WRESTLEMANIA HAD A LOT OF
PROVING MYSELF TO DO, NOT JUST
TO THE FAN BASE, BUT I FELT ALSO
TO THE ROSTER AS WELL.
I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO THINK THAT
I WAS COMING JUST TO PIGGYBACK
OFF OF THEIR HARD WORK, THAT I
WANTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WORK
THEY ARE DOING.
>> [MUSIC]
>> "ROWDY" RONDA ROUSEY.
>> [CROWD CHATTER]
>> THIS ISN'T JUST A JOB, IT'S A
LIFESTYLE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> IT'S A LOT TRAVEL, BUT SHE'S
ROLLED WITH THE PUNCHES.
SHE'S THERE FOR THE RIDE.
>> I USED TO THINK KURT ANGLE
WAS LIKE THE UNBELIEVABLE ONE OF
THE BAZILLION EXCEPTION TO THE
RULE OF HOW QUICKLY HE PICKED
THIS UP, BUT RONDA MAKES THAT
LOOK LIKE IT WAS A SNAIL'S PACE.
>> ROUSEY ON THE TOP ROPE NOW.
SHE'S PERCHED.
>> EVERY INSTINCT THAT SHE HAS
IS RIGHT.
>> OH.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> IT'S STILL A LEARNING
EXPERIENCE AND I'M STILL FINDING
OUT LIKE HOW MUCH MORE THERE IS
THIS BUSINESS THAN ANYONE WOULD
EVER GUESS AND I'M STILL
DISCOVERING THAT EVERY DAY.
>> [MUSIC]
>> SHE WAS A PROVEN COMMODITY.
SHE WAS WORKING, DRAWING, DOING
ALL OF IT.
SHE WAS LIKE, "I DON'T WANNA WIN
THE TITLE.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'VE EARN THAT
LEVEL OF RESPECT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT YET."
ALMOST HUMBLING HERSELF AND
BELITTLING HERSELF TO THOSE
BOYS, LIKE, "BUT YOU'RE FREAKING
RONDA ROUSEY."
SHE DIDN'T SEE HERSELF THAT WAY
TO EVERYBODY THERE, SHE WAS
JUST--SHE WAS THE GUEST.
>> I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT I
HAD A SHOT TO ACTUALLY BE ANY
GOOD AS A WRESTLER.
I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE
FOR ME TO BE ANYTHING MORE THAN
LIKE, YOU KNOW, "HEY, LOOK, IT'S
MISTER T," YOU KNOW, LIKE THAT
WOULD BE LIKE A--LIKE MISTER T
FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, LIKE
HONESTLY.
>> SHE ALMOST PUTS THE BUSINESS
AND THE ART FORM OF WHAT WE DO
ABOVE HERSELF.
SHE DOESN'T SEE HERSELF AS BEING
BIGGER THAN IT.
SHE SEES IT BEING BIGGER THAN
HER.
SHE WANTS TO LEAVE IT BETTER
THAN IT CAME.
SHE WANTS ALL THOSE THINGS.
SHE HAS NO EGO TO IT.
SHE'S JUST WILLING TO GO OUT
THERE AND PUT ON THE BEST
PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE.
SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR
MINDS AND STAND UP AND CHEER.
>> YEAH, IN MY DAY, IF YOU WANT
TO PUT THIS DOWN IN MY DAY, I'D
BEAT HER IN 30 SECONDS.
ONE HAND BEHIND MY BACK, RIGHT?
>> WHAT?
I'M NOT [INDISTINCT]
ON THAT.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU CALL US
THE REAL FOUR HORSEWOMEN.
>> YEAH, I KNOW.
THERE WE GO.
>> NO.
I'LL SHAKE ON IT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THERE WE GO.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> I HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT.
WHAT?
IT WAS A SLOW REALIZATION THAT I
SHOULD BE HERE AND THEN A SLOW
REALIZATION OF WHAT MY ACTUAL
ROLE IS HERE AND WHAT MY
POTENTIAL IS, AND WHAT I HAVE TO
OFFER.
AND EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH
DIFFERENT THAN I THOUGHT.
>> MY DAD PASSED AWAY SIX DAYS
BEFORE SUMMERSLAM.
AND VINCE CALLED MY HUSBAND TJ
AND SAID, "HEY, I KNOW NATTIE'S
PROBABLY PRETTY UPSET, BUT WE
REALLY WANT NATTIE TO BE AT
SUMMERSLAM AND WANT HER TO BE
THERE WITH RONDA."
>> I JUST WANT TO SEE MY FRIEND
AND I KNOW SHE'S GOING THROUGH A
HARD TIME.
SO I JUST WANT TO HUG HER.
>> AND WE HAD THE FUNERAL TWO
DAYS BEFORE SUMMERSLAM.
AND THEN ON SATURDAY, I WOKE UP
AND I WAS LIKE, "I REALLY WANNA
WALK RONDA DOWN TO THE RING."
>> [MUSIC]
>> AND RONDA, LIKE, SHE MADE ME
FEEL SO IMPORTANT THAT DAY.
THIS WAS HER BIG DAY AND I FELT
LIKE IT WAS JUST THE BEST
THERAPY.
IT WAS LIKE THE BIGGEST, WARMEST
HUG.
SHE WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT ME
AS HER FRIEND, AND THAT'S THE
KIND OF PERSON THAT RONDA IS.
>> HOW EXCITED ARE YOU?
>> I'M --
[INDISTINCT]
>> YOU FEEL GOOD?
>> NO, SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE
LIKE, "NO, IT'S COOL.
LIKE, I [INDISTINCT]
>> NATTIE [INDISTINCT]
>> [INDISTINCT]
>> --
>> I'M IN THE WAY.
>> NO, NO, NO.
YOU'RE NEVER IN THE WAY.
YOU'RE GONNA BE--YOU COULD BE
OUR FAVORITE [INDISTINCT]
>> YEAH.
>> THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS FOR
THE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
>> RONDA ROUSEY IS ALL BUSINESS
TONIGHT FOR THIS WOMEN'S
CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH.
OH, MY GOD.
>> RONDA IS STEAMROLLING ALEXA
BLISS.
>> [BELL RINGING]
>> RONDA ROUSEY'S DONE IT.
RONDA ROUSEY IS THE RAW WOMEN'S
CHAMPION.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> [MUSIC]
>> THE FIRST WOMAN IN HISTORY TO
WIN A UFC CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE
WWE WOMEN'S TITLE.
>> I THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS A
TOURIST, LIKE, I WAS JUST SOME
FUN LITTLE MASCOT THAT THEY'RE
LIKE PUTTING UP WITH.
AND THEN I ENDED UP WITH THIS
TITLE, AND I JUST REMEMBER
LOOKING DOWN INTO MY HANDS AND,
LIKE, FEELING THE WEIGHT OF THIS
RESPONSIBILITY IN MY HANDS.
THIS IS REAL, REALIZING THAT
THIS IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN
JUST ME.
>> THE PIONEER THROUGHOUT
SPORTS.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BADDEST
WOMAN ON THE PLANET.
>> I ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE,
LIKE, A ROCKY AND ADRIAN MOMENT
WITH HIM.
THANK YOU, GUYS.
THANK YOU [INDISTINCT]
>> OH, MY GOD.
I WAS SO HAPPY FOR HER.
AND SHE JUST WANTED TO, LIKE,
MAKE OUT WITH TRAVIS.
WHICH I LOVE.
MY MOM IS [INDISTINCT]
BY GREAT-GRANDMA.
GOD ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT HE'S
DOING, EVEN IF YOU DON'T.
IT'S CRAZY HOW TIME CAN BE A
GREAT TEACHER AND HOW THE MORE
TIME THAT GOES ON, THE MORE I
REALIZE THAT EVERY MISSED
OPPORTUNITY IS A BLESSING IN
DISGUISE.
AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS JUST
TEACHES ME TO HAVE MORE BELIEF
THAT EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY
WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT.
>> SO, WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT
EVOLUTION, IT'S A
HISTORY-MAKING, GROUNDBREAKING
MOMENT.
WHO WANTS TO START?
>> I'LL START IT.
EVOLUTION--
>> OKAY.
>> --IS THE FIRST-EVER
ALL-WOMEN'S PAY-PER-VIEW OF THE
WWE.
>> I JUST GOT CHILLS.
THAT'S BIG.
>> IT'S HUGE, AND I REALLY
BELIEVE THE WWE IS SOCIAL
COMMENTARY FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD
IN THE WOMEN'S EVOLUTION IN THE
WWE.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S THE REFLECTION
OF THE WOMEN'S REVOLUTION
HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD--
>> ON THE PLANET, YES.
>> --RIGHT NOW.
YEAH.
>> [MUSIC]
>> GEORGE FOREMAN JOE FRAZIER.
COOL.
>> RONDA.
>> HEY.
>> OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS?
[INDISTINCT]
OH, MY GOD, I DON'T WANNA HEAD
BUTT YOU GUYS [INDISTINCT]
>> IS IT WEIRD THAT THIS IS THE
FIRST PAY-PER-VIEW EVER, PERIOD,
THAT WE'VE EVER BEEN ON
TOGETHER?
>> I JUST --
>> YEAH, RIGHT?
>> I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT.
>> I THINK IT WAS YOUR MOM.
>> EVEN BACKSTAGE, BEFORE THE
SHOW, WHETHER IT WAS SECURITY
WORKING THE BUILDING, WHETHER IT
WAS EXECUTIVES, NO MATTER WHO IT
WAS WALKING AROUND BACKSTAGE, WE
ALL HAD THIS LOOK ON OUR FACE
LIKE WE WERE SHARING SOME KIND
OF SECRET.
AND WE WERE ALL PART OF IT.
>> YOU.
>> DOING SOME CRAZY --
WITH YOUR FRIENDS AT THIS
AMAZING EVENT, THAT'S LIKE
SOMETHING BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU
ALL ARE TOGETHER.
IT'S --
NUTS.
>> [MUSIC]
>> A LOT OF, I DON'T KNOW,
INTERNAL CONFLICT ABOUT A LOT OF
IT, AND THAT--I KNOW THAT I CAN
HELP A LOT, BUT ALSO KNOW THAT I
DON'T--I DON'T DESERVE TO BE THE
FOCUS.
>> [INDISTINCT]
>> YEAH.
>> WOO.
IN MMA, I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE TO
SHOW THEM SOMETHING SHINY TO GET
THEM TO LOOK, AND YOU SHOW THEM
SOMETHING OF QUALITY TO GET THEM
TO WATCH.
AND I REALLY JUST FEEL, LIKE,
I'M, LIKE, THIS SOMETHING SHINY
TO GET PEOPLE TO WATCH.
I MEAN, HONESTLY, TONIGHT, IT
FEELS, LIKE, MY FIRST UFC FIGHT,
BUT WITHOUT THE CRAZY NERVES.
YOU KNOW, I FEEL, LIKE, THERE'S
JUST AS MUCH PRESSURE AND JUST
AS MUCH OF A PIVOTAL MOMENT FOR
A DIFFERENT INDUSTRY BUT I CAME
IN TO THAT ARENA WITH A SMILE ON
MY FACE DANCING AROUND, HAVING A
GREAT TIME, INSTEAD OF, YOU
KNOW, LIKE--IN LIKE, SUPER
TUNNEL VISION MODE.
IT'S SUCH A LUXURY TO BE ABLE TO
ENJOY THE MOMENT ONE MINUTE AND
I FINALLY CAN.
>> [MUSIC]
>> OH.
>> AWESOME.
>> LET'S DO THAT.
>> I'LL TAKE YOU OUT.
>> I AIN'T SCARED.
>> I AIN'T SCARED HOMIE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT TO--
>> OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
>> [INDISTINCT]
>> HEY [INDISTINCT]
LET'S GO.
>> OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
>> WOO.
>> I THINK IT WAS VERY FITTING
THAT RONDA WAS THE HEADLINER FOR
EVOLUTION.
>> WHAT AN OVATION FOR THE
BADDEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET.
>> LIKE, RONDA PROVED THAT YOU
CAN ABSOLUTELY SELL JUST AS MANY
PAY-PER-VIEWS AS THE GUYS, IF
YOU GIVE THEM ENOUGH REASON TO
BE INTERESTED IN THE FIGHT.
>> [BELL RINGING]
>> [MUSIC]
>> SHE HAS THE BIGGEST PLATFORM
IN THE WORLD BY FAR, TO INITIATE
THAT CHANGE AND TO SPEAK THAT TO
THE WORLD.
AND THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS HERE
FOR.
>> SHE WANTS TO BE A PART OF
THAT MESSAGE AND SHE VERY MUCH
IS.
>> I WAS JUST HAPPY TO SEE THE
EVENT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
I WAS HAPPY TO SEE EVERY SINGLE
MATCH JUST SURPASSED
EXPECTATIONS.
I MEAN, THE WHOLE CARD JUST BLEW
EVERYONE AWAY AND I'M INCREDIBLY
PROUD FOR BEING PART OF IT.
>> WE SEE RONDA ROUSEY
CONTINUING TO PROVE IT WEEK IN
AND WEEK OUT THAT SHE BELONGS AT
THE FOREFRONT OF THE WOMEN'S
REVOLUTION.
>> YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY KEEPS
SAYING THAT THERE'S THIS
MOVEMENT GOING ON, BUT I THINK
THAT THIS MOVEMENT HAS BEEN
GOING ON.
I MEAN, THIS IS--THIS IS BACK
SINCE --
SUSAN B.
ANTHONY.
EVERY GENERATION OF WOMEN, THEY
ARE ALL WORKING THEIR ASSES OFF
SO THAT THEIR DAUGHTERS HAVE TO
PUT UP WITH A LITTLE LESS
--
THAN THEY HAVE TO.
THIS IS A RELAY FROM GENERATION
TO GENERATION AND I'M JUST
TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP
PUSHING THIS WHEEL ALONG AS FAR
AS I CAN UNTIL THIS OLD, BEAT UP
FIGHTER BODY GIVES OUT ON ME.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK THIS
IS A HUGE VICTORY NOT JUST FOR
ME, BUT FOR EVERY SINGLE WOMAN
ON THIS CARD, EVERY SINGLE WOMAN
THAT'S EVER STEPPED IN THAT
RING, I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE
FINALLY ON THE ROAD TO GETTING
THE RESPECT THAT WE'VE ALWAYS
DESERVED.
>> HEY, CHAMP.
>> OH, GOD.
I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO
HAVING A MATCH BECKY BECAUSE WE
WERE CREATING THE PERFECT STORM
TOGETHER, YOU KNOW?
FOR LIKE, THESE TWO DIFFERENT
STORM SYSTEMS TO MEET TOGETHER
AND CREATE THIS BIG --
HURRICANE THING.
>> HEY, LET GO OF HER, COME ON.
LET IT GO, BECKY, COME ON.
LET IT GO.
>> THAT WAS THE MATCH THAT
DIDN'T HAPPEN, YOU KNOW.
GIVEN UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE
OF WHAT HAPPENED TO BECKY RIGHT
BEFORE SURVIVOR SERIES WHEN SHE
GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY NIA
JAX AND WASN'T MEDICALLY CLEARED
TO COMPETE.
>> I WAS MOURNING OUR LOST
OPPORTUNITY, BUT I'M A BIG
BELIEVER THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS
FOR A REASON, AND I THINK THAT
OUR PATHS WEREN'T MEANT TO CROSS
THEN.
>> [MUSIC]
>> I FELT LIKE ME AND CHARLOTTE
WERE ALWAYS ON A COURSE
INTERSECT, EVEN BEFORE I WAS IN
THE WWE.
SO I REMEMBER NATTIE WAS COMING
TO TRAIN WITH EVE AND SHE IS
WITH HENNER, MY JIU-JITSU COACH,
AND SO NATTIE WAS COMING IN, SHE
WAS, LIKE, "I HAVE A REALLY BIG
RESPONSIBILITY.
I GOT, LIKE, CHARLOTTE FLAIR'S
MATCH WITH ME."
AND--BUT EVEN THEN, I WAS LIKE,
"OH, MY GOD, CHARLOTTE FLAIR,
RIC FLAIR'S DAUGHTER, THAT'S SO
COOL."
AND, LIKE, SINCE THEN, IT'S LIKE
WE'VE BEEN ON THIS COURSE TO
INTERSECT, LIKE, IT JUST--IT'S
BEEN MEANT TO HAPPEN.
I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN OUT
OF NOWHERE LIKE THAT.
>> TONIGHT, IT'S ABOUT THE ELITE
FACING THE ELITE TO DETERMINE
WHO TRULY IS THE BEST.
>> IT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT I
FELT, LIKE, WE HAVE, LIKE, A
BIG, LONG COMMOTION, AND WE
HAVE, LIKE, THIS GREAT RIVALRY
HISTORY AND ALL THAT STUFF, AND
WE HAD NONE OF IT.
>> AND NOW RONDA'S FIRED UP.
>> SO, IT REALLY PUT THE
PRESSURE ON US TO CREATE THE
STORY IN THE MATCH ITSELF.
>> SPEAR.
FLAIR, FROM OUT OF NOWHERE,
ALMOST HAD HER, TWO AND A HALF.
CHARLOTTE WITH A KENDO STICK.
WHY ON EARTH?
>> MY MATCH WITH CHARLOTTE IS
THE ONE THAT I'M THE MOST PROUD
OF.
I THINK WE CREATED SOMETHING
REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL THAT
NIGHT AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME
OTHERWISE.
I'M SO PROUD TO BE PART OF IT.
>> HER MATCH AGAINST CHARLOTTE
PROVED TO ME, AND I THINK SHOULD
PROVE TO EVERYONE, JUST HOW MUCH
RONDA IS IN THIS.
SHE GOT A LOT OF RESPECT FROM A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DAY.
>> I FEEL LIKE RONDA IS HOME
HERE.
>> I LOVE HER, I LOVE HER SO
MUCH.
>> AND I LOVE HER.
>> IT'S A SECRET.
>> IT IS.
>> IT'S OUR SECRET THAT I LOVE--
>> IT'S A SECRET.
I FEEL VERY CLOSE TO RONDA
BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE
WENT THROUGH AND I HAVE SO MUCH
RESPECT FOR HER, YOU KNOW.
I THINK THERE'S NOTHING SHE
CAN'T DO.
I'LL GET OUT THIS WAY
[INDISTINCT]
STUFF FOR YOU.
>> BUT YEAH, I--I'M A BIG--I'M A
BIG BELIEVER THAT EVERY MISSED
OPPORTUNITY IS A BLESSING IN
DISGUISE, AND I THINK THAT, YOU
KNOW, HINDSIGHT'S 20/20, AND
THIS IS JUST A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
TO BRING WHAT WAS BETWEEN ME AND
BECKY, NOW TO BE BETWEEN ME,
BECKY, AND CHARLOTTE.
>> [MUSIC]
>> RONNIE, I TOLD YOU I'D FIND A
WAY BACK TO YOU AGAIN.
AND YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS, BUT
LAST NIGHT, I WON THE ROYAL
RUMBLE MATCH AND I CHOOSE YOU.
>> [CROWD CHEERING]
>> [MUSIC]
>> BECKY'S INJURY, WELL, THERE'S
NEVER A GOOD TIME FOR IT, IT
MADE IT DELAY, IT MADE IT TAKE
LONGER, IT MADE IT BACK UP, AND
SO BECKY'S STAR JUST CONTINUE TO
RISE, AND RONDA'S STAR CONTINUE
TO BE WHAT IT WAS, AND IT JUST
BUILT TO THIS EPIC ENCOUNTER.
SO--YEAH, I THINK SOMETIMES FATE
INTERVENES AND HELPS US TELL THE
BETTER STORY LONG TERM.
>> DAMN YOUR FANTASIES, DAMN THE
MAN, SCREW THE WOO, AND NO MORE
MISSUS NICE BITCH.
>> OH.
AND RONDA ROUSEY GOES RIGHT
AFTER CHARLOTTE AND BECKY.
THIS IS THE ROUSEY THAT MANY
PEOPLE EXPECTED, WHAT SHE CAME
TO WWE.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S NO DIFFERENT
THAN IN THE BOXING WORLD OR THE
MMA WORLD, IT'S, LIKE, "OH,
THAT'S THE FIGHT THEY SHOULD
MAKE," BUT IF THE FIGHT DOESN'T
HAPPEN FOR A WHILE, IT JUST
KEEPS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER
AND BIGGER AND BIGGER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU BUILD A
MAIN EVENT BIGGER THAN THAT.

LOOKING BACK, WHEN I FIRST CAME

IS A NOVELTY AND THAT WOULD
EXPIRE QUICKLY THAN BE ABLE TO
SAY, "BYE AND THANK YOU," WALK
OFF INTO THE SUNSET AND MOVE
ONTO HAVING A FAMILY AND BABIES.
BUT IT WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I
EVER HOPED IT COULD BE.
