Sami Callihan comments on Ronda Rousey coming to Wrestling REVOLVER.
On October 28, Wrestling REVOLVER announced that Ronda Rousey would make her REVOLVER debut on November 16 in Los Angeles. It was announced that part of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Maui Wildfire Relief.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Callihan was asked about Rousey's upcoming appearance and how it came together.
"I fell into that one. I'm not going to take credit for that, that it's some mastermind plan that I went, 'this is going to be the thing, we're going to run LA on two and a half weeks notice.' It's something that I fell into because my relationships with other people and people putting myself over to Ronda, 'This is the guy you want to work with.' Ronda wanted to do this for charity. She wants to do something for the Hawaiian relief fund, her husband is from Hawaii, this is a charity she holds near and dear to her heart. As soon as she brought it up to me, I said, 'Absolutely, this is 100% something I want to be involved with' because the money will actually go to help people," he said. "Every cent we make on ticket sales after production is paid off, every cent is given to charity. A lot of people working the show have said, 'give my money to charity.' We're sending the money directly to families in need."
Rousey is set to team with Marina Shafir at the event. Rousey teamed with Shafir at Lucha VAVOOM against Taya Valkyrie & Brian Kendrick.
Jon Moxley is also scheduled to appear. Fans can learn more about the show by clicking here.
