Ronda Rousey may be UFC's top draw these days, but the women's bantamweight champion may be considering a reverse Brock Lesnar move. Rousey recently uploaded a video to Instagram in which she's tossed into the turnbuckle of a ring by fellow UFC competitor Shayna Baszler, but then hops up to the top rope, flips over an opponent and turns the maneuver into an armbar.

Of course the moves were fake, and she wasn't really executing her infamous armbar. However, her massive popularity, and recent forays into the acting world may be a prelude to a move to the WWE. Wrestling's popularity is spiking a bit again with the popularity of the Total Divas reality show skyrocketing, and she's slated to appear in two major upcoming films--Fast & Furious 7 and The Expendables 3.
She already drew reactions in every direction when she coached on The Ultimate Fighter, cementing her rivalry with Miesha Tate as one of the UFC's testiest ever, so a move to Total Divas would be far from shocking. There is also a history of former UFC fighters making hay in pro wrestling. The most famous of them are Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn.
In the reverse, Brock Lesnar achieved fame as "The Next Big Thing," before earning a UFC heavyweight championship. He has since returned to the world of kayfabe, and will be featured at WrestleMania in April against legendary faux-grappler The Undertaker.
Ronda Rousey could knock off Cain Velasquez?
Rousey's name keeps popping up in headlines as well, so she's mastered the art of remaining relevant even when she's not scheduled for any upcoming fights. Most recently, she spouted off about being able to defeat boxing's pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather in a mixed martial arts match by utilizing a monkey crawl.

"I wouldn't even stand up, I wouldn't even be anywhere near him. I would just do like a little army crawl over there, and he would have to run away," Rousey said.
