Was Dana White Previously Notified of Rousey’s WMania Involvement?
Brad Slater of William Morris Endeavor, who is the entertainment agent of both The Rock and Ronda Rousey, told MMAFighting.com that Rousey’s appearance at WrestleMania had been in the works for months. He added, however, that it remains unclear whether or not Rousey will actually wrestle a match in WWE.
Slater also said UFC President Dana White was absolutely notified beforehand of Rousey’s participation at ‘Mania, and he was fine with it.
“I’ve told you many times how I work with Dana [White]. I always, always call him and make sure he is OK with anything we ever do in movies, television and otherwise,” Slater said.
