Extras Being Hired For 2 Special WrestleMania 31 Entrances

It’s being reported that WWE has a local casting agency in San Francisco working to cast Russian soldiers and scarecrows at WrestleMania 31. The Russian soldiers obviously are for Rusev and the scarecrows are for Sting or Bray Wyatt, but likely for Sting.

The casting agency is booking both roles and they’re using the same extras for both roles as a way to save money. They’re looking for males between 24 and 33 with no facial hair. The agency is paying the extras $1,100 each total for 3 days.

The extras must be available to train on March 27th and 28th, then perform at WrestleMania on March 29th. The first day will consist of costume fitting and a walk-through for 4 hours. They will do a late night rehearsal after the Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday from 11pm – 3am. They will be required to be at Levi’s Stadium all day and evening on Sunday at WrestleMania.

Ronda Rousey vs Bethe Correia targeted for UFC190 in Brazil 

Runors have been flying around all over the Internet since late last night about Ronda Rousey’s next possible opponent and it’s time we here at WrestlingNewsBlog join the party. The person that is said to be next in line is undefeated Brazilian Bethe Corriea. Bethe is currently 9-0 with two back to back wins over Rousey’s friends and training partners Jessamyn Duke and Shayna Baszler.

Clearly there is no love lost between these two. Bethe has even called Rousey a “selfish champion because she leaves to make movies and doesn’t really care about the sport”

Rousey fired back saying that “if she wasn’t doing all this talking she wouldn’t be getting recognized so she’s doing a good job for herself. In one interview when asked about Corriea beating her teammates Rousey said “I’m the mamma bear and I will f*** her up”

The rumored show down between the two is targeted to take place at UFC190 on August 1st from Corriea’s home counry of Brazil. Although the UFC hasn’t confirmed this bout it’s more then likely to happen for 3 reasons. 1. Rousey said she expected to return in August. 2. Rousey said she would want nothing more then to beat corriea in her hometown and 3. Right now Corriea is the most logical opponent based soly on the history between the two.

I know one things Forsure if this fight does indeed happen I’ll be chearing on Rousey as she dives into enemy territory.
