Wondering how Dana White let Ronda Rousey throw hands at Triple H in front of a packed Levi’s Stadium? According to MMA News, we have The Rock to thank.
According to their sources, ol’ Dwayne himself was the one who convinced the big boss of UFC to let his most valuable asset shave a few sides off that octagon and step into the squared circle.
Furious 7, featuring both Rock and Rousey, has already earned more than $800 million in less than two weeks, and it’s on track to gross more than $1 billion worldwide. That’s already a great deal more than reported earnings from WWE and UFC last year combined.

With that established, when your two biggest stars want to unite both businesses under a banner of insane earning potential, you kinda just have to say yes. We already know The Rock is all-in on teaming up at WrestleMania 32, and we know the ways it could make sense, so we can be a little less hesitant in wanting to get excited, and just start getting as hype as possible.
