Ronda Rousey and WWE??

 The moment involving The Rock, HHH, Stephanie McMahon and Ronda Rousey was easily one of the best moments of this years WrestleMania. It was all over every sports media outlet and left the fans wanting more. Ever since then people have been asking will we see Ronda Rousey again??

Just a few days ago Dana White was asked if Rousey would be back in WWE to which he quickly replied “No it was one and done.

Now according to WrestlingInc.com it is being said that white’s response shocked creative since they were hoping for a match between Stephanie and Rousey at WrestleMania 32. They had even hoped for a small angle during this years Hell in a Cell PPV since it’s taking place in Rousey’s back yard of LA.

One source at Wrestling News Obsever says that the feeling within WWE is that it’s still not a dead deal even if White hasn’t signed off on anything. It is also being said that WWE has videos set up of Rousey and Stephanie and that Stephanie may be talking about the situation on the Live with Chris Jericho special tonight on the WWE NETWORK 

It should also be noted that when Rousey was a guest on the Pipers Pit podcast she said from the moment the segment at WrestleMania was over she knew that she couldn’t not come back and she’d do what ever she could to get back in there again.

I personally think Dana White saying it was one and done is damage control and we will be seeing her again. WWE has always been open to it, Rousey has friends within the company and quite frankly it would be a dumb business move on White’s part not to work out some sort of deal since it would be a huge crossover and could potentially bring new eyes to the UFC.

What do you guys think? Will we see Rousey in the squared circle again? Let us know in the comments.

“Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert’s Family Suing WWE

Eddie Gilbert

Tommy Gilbert, the father of the late great “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert, claims that WWE is cashing in on Eddie, so the Gilbert family is suing WWE to get a cut of the action.

According to docs … Tommy Gilbert is in charge of the estate and Tommy says the WWE is plastering his son’s image and likeness all over TV and other media platforms without permission and more importantly, without paying the Gilbert family a dime.

Tommy says old wrestling footage of Eddie, a pro wrestler from 1979 until his death from a heart attack in 1995, is being used to promote the WWE.

The Gilbert family isn’t suing to block use of the footage, they just want a judge to force WWE to pay them a share of its profits, plus damages.

A WWE rep tells TMZ – “Through the years, WWE has acquired the legal rights to library footage of various former wrestling organizations including Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Mid-Southern Wrestling among many others. WWE has made substantial investments to acquire these copyrighted works and has the legal right to use them.”

The WWE rep adds – “Similar cases in the past have been unsuccessful, and we expect this case to be dismissed,”
