Boxing star Alycia Baumgardner is very open to the idea of crossing over into WWE.<\/p>\n

During a Tuesday appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Baumgardner was asked if she\u2019s thought about trying her hand at WWE given her big personality and early-life experience competing in amateur wrestling. Baumgardner said those talks are already in the works, with her and WWE showing mutual interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, listen, it\u2019s in the works. Conversations are being had \u2014 as we speak,\u201d Baumgardner said. \u201cAgain, I don\u2019t turn no deal down if it makes sense. And when we talk about building a brand, we talk about bigger and better. I\u2019m not just a fighter, I\u2019m not just a boxer. I think that\u2019s why they [haters] mad, because they\u2019ve got to box. I don\u2019t have to box. I love to box. I choose to box. And, yeah, we\u2019re building something big. We\u2019re building a brand that is made to last.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baumgardner said she was a big fan of WWE growing up and once lit fireworks in her room trying to mimic entrance pyro. Trish Stratus and John Cena were among some of the wrestlers that she liked. Currently, she is friends with WWE Women\u2019s Champion Jade Cargill and loves how Cargill is representing Black women.<\/p>\n

When asked if she\u2019s tried out wrestling training, Baumgardner said she has not because she is busy with her current fight camp. She is facing Bo Mi Re Shin in New York City this Friday night for MVP women\u2019s boxing. Baumgardner invited Cargill to attend, but Cargill is not able to make it due to WrestleMania.<\/p>\n

Is it only a matter of time before Alycia Baumgardner crosses over into WWE? \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

“Listen, it\u2019s in the works. Conversations are being had, for real.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not just a fighter. I\u2019m not just a boxer\u2026 That\u2019s why they\u2019re mad\u2014because they have to box. I don\u2019t have to box. I love to box.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/ra2p0kaWjl<\/a><\/p>\n
