Ronda Rousey got a taste of WWE action at WrestleMania 31, and now she wants some more.

The reigning UFC Women's Bantamweight champion shocked the world by appearing alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and getting into a verbal and physical altercation with WWE executives Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
"I hit the ground running," Rousey said when appearing on the Rowdy Roddy Piper podcast recently, according to Yahoo! Sports. "The first [time] I ever wrestled was at WrestleMania with an attendance record at Levi's Stadium. I had a problem when I left. There's no way I can't not go back in there again. There's no way. After experiencing that, there's nothing like it. The second I left I was already thinking, 'How can I possibly go back?' I didn't even change [clothes] yet. I hadn't even gotten out of my outfit yet."

Rousey, an avid wrestling fan, took her "Rowdy" nickname from Piper as a way to pay homage to the former WWE Intercontinental Champion.
The UFC and president Dana White granted Rousey permission to work with the WWE at WrestleMania and it has since been reported that The Rock had a lot to do with convincing White to let it happen on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in California.
"It's a tricky thing having [The Rock involved]. He's so good at putting people over," Rousey said. "He holds the room so intensely, it's hard to not be outshone by him. Triple H and The Rock could be one of the biggest rivalries of all-time. How can we make a situation where we ignore them? That's a lot of pressure, to be captivating enough to ignore them."
Rousey also took down Triple H and McMahon during the segment, which has led to rumors that she may clash with McMahon at WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX in 2016. The entire segment was well received, but not everything went as planned.
"That wasn't even a throw I was planning," she said about hurling Triple H across the ring. "I made it up on the spot. I pulled it out of my ass. I don't even know what that is. It was kind of awesome to see everything planned, and everything that doesn't go according to plan."
There have been rumors that the WWE may try to utilize Rousey at Hell in a Cell in October since it emanates from Los Angeles, but "Rowdy" couldn't confirm anything as she's focused on fighting Bethe Correia in August at UFC 190.
"I need to find a way [to go back to WWE]," she said, "but I have a lot of stuff going on. I'm fighting Aug. 1. First of all, the kind of beating Bethe is going to get in Brazil is nothing compared to anything anyone can make up in the meantime. So I can't make anyone excited about anything while that fight is looming over my head."
