Boxing star Alycia Baumgardner is open to involvement with WWE, noting that “conversations” are being done about that potentially happening. Baumgardner appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show and during the conversation, she was asked if she had considered doing something with WWE.
“Oh, listen, it’s in the works,” Baumgardner said (per F4W Online). “Conversations are being had — as we speak. 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.”
She continued, “I think that’s why they [haters] mad, because they’ve 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.”
Baumgardner holds the IBF, WBO and WBA female super featherweight championships. She has a 17-7-1 record in pro boxing. She told Helwani that she was a big WWE fan growing up and named Trish Stratus and John Cena as stars she was a fan of. She is friends with current WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill, who is defending her title against Rhea Ripley at Wrestlemania 42 this weekend.
Is it only a matter of time before Alycia Baumgardner crosses over into WWE? 👀
