In 2018, the female judo Olympic medallist who signed with WWE was Ronda Rousey.
Rousey won a bronze medal in judo at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and later transitioned to MMA fighting, becoming one of the most dominant female fighters in the sport's history.
Her signing with WWE created a lot of buzz among fans and media alike, and she quickly became a popular wrestler with her intense, no-nonsense persona and impressive ring skills.
Rousey has since retired from professional wrestling but remains a cultural icon and a trailblazer for women in combat sports.
