Stephanie McMahon recalls challenge of preparing to face Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania

Stephanie McMahon recently appeared on WWE’s The Bump, where she talked about Ronda Rousey and their WrestleMania 34 match. Stephanie McMahon revealed that facing Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania was the biggest highlight of her career. However, she also admitted that she had to push her physical limits to prepare for Ronda Rousey’s debut PPV. Stephanie McMahon teamed up with her husband Triple H to take on Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle but ended up losing the match.

“Getting ready for that match against Ronda (Rousey) was probably the most physically challenging thing I’ve ever done in my life. I know she can’t say the same. It was one of the biggest highlights of my career. I’m really proud that I was able to go in there and take a beating,” Stephanie McMahon said.

However, as Ronda Rousey was leaving the ring, Triple H appeared from behind and attacked Kurt Angle.
