If Ronda Rousey comes to the WWE, Paige will not be the first Diva laying down a challenge to her.
The reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion is an avid WWE fan and wants to hold the Divas Championship someday, but if that day ever comes, the two-time title-holder wants nothing to do with her. Paige believes that "Rowdy" would obliterate the entire locker room.

"She would totally destroy every single one of us, including the men," Paige told Talksport.com. "There's not really a strategy you can do but if it is in the wrestling ring, there's her inexperience that kind of goes against her that way."
Rousey may be inexperienced in the squared circle, but that doesn't mean Paige wants a piece of her.

"I wouldn't want to mess with her," Paige said. "At any point she could say, 'Eff this, I'm just going to put you in an armbar.' And you'd have no choice, right?"
Paige isn't wrong. Rousey has shown a nasty streak in the UFC, fighting to a 12-0 record with nine submissions and three knockouts. Her next victim, ahem, fight is against Holly Holm on Saturday in Australia at UFC 193.
Rousey has a very busy schedule, but she's revealed in the past that she wants to become a WWE Diva down the line, while current Divas Champion Charlotte invited her to come take her on "anytime."
Though she's part of the UFC, Rousey has been seen on WWE television on multiple occasions. She helped Stephanie McMahon take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at SummerSlam in 2014. At WrestleMania 31 in March, Rousey reappeared and took out McMahon and Triple H with a verbal and physical beat down while helping out Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
There were rumors the angle may lead to a match involving the four at WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, but UFC president White described Rousey's appearance as a "one-off," and she is very busy. Still, she's clamoring for a return.
"I'm ready," Rousey told RollingStone.com earlier this month. "I'm a huge fan wrestling, and I would like to see the position of women in the sport continue to improve, so if I can be a part of it, great."
Just don't expect Paige to jump at the chance to face Rousey.
"I wouldn't want to be first in line to take her on," Paige said. "She would kick my ass."
