Alycia Baumgardner is one of the brightest female stars in the sport of boxing. But, could she be making the jump to WWE? It seems more likely than ever.
Alycia Baumgardner spoke with Ariel Helwani today on the Ariel Helwani Show, where he noted that she would make a good WWE superstar. It was there, when she revealed that it’s already in the works and conversations are being had.
”I could definitely be a WWE-, I’m a diva, for real! [..] Yes, yeah, funny story, me, my sister and our friend growing up, we were big WWE fans. We literally thought we were divas and we lit fireworks in the room to have our own walkout. That’s how serious it was! Listen, mom came in the room “what’s that smell?” We had sparklers and it was so funny. I was like yeah, this is real deal. We’re divas.”
She noted that her favorites were Trish Stratus and John Cena, and that her father even surprised her with tickets as a kid. That’s when she revealed the conversations with the company.
“Oh, listen, it’s in the works. Yeah. Conversations are being had. Yes, as we speak. […] Yeah, you know, again, I don’t turn no deal down if it makes sense. And when we talk about building a brand, we talk about bigger and better, I’m not just a fighter. I’m not just a boxer. This is what, I think that’s why they mad because they got to box. I don’t have to box. I love to box, I choose to box. And, yeah, we’re building something big. We’re building a brand that is made to last. Like I said, baby, that’s on solid rock.”
She mentioned they’ve both reached out to each other, and while she hasn’t physically tested the waters yet, she’s friends with Jade Cargill, and recently invited her to her fight. But, Jade couldn’t make it due to WrestleMania. Yet, both still support each other.
WrestleMania is live on April 18 and 19. Alycia Baumgardner (17-1, 7 KOs) is scheduled to defend her WBA, WBO, and IBF titles against Bo Mi Re Shin on April 17 at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden.
