Reason Ronda Rousey Was Booked into Tag Matches on Tour; Interesting Note on WWE Stock

— The reason WWE switched up the scheduled singles matches for Ronda Rousey into six-women tag matches is simply because the company didn’t feel as if she was ready to face Mickie James in singles competition. Rousey was generally in for about a minute in each of the matches but is supposed to resume training for her match against Nia Jax this week now that she is back in North America.

I thought you might find it interesting to know how much Vince has technically lost on the XFL so far.

Last year he put $100M of his own money into the XFL. He did that by selling 3,340,000 shares on Dec 20, 2017 at $28.68 per share for a value of $95,791,200.

With WWE stock closing today at $57.86, had those shares still been invested in WWE, they would be worth $193,252,400.

A missed opportunity of $97,461,200. One could argue the XFL has already cost Vince close to $100M in just 5 months before it’s even started.
