Ahead of her WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34 on Sunday, Ronda Rousey said Wednesday that she would love to work with CM Punk one day in the world of professional wrestling.

Rousey made the declaration while appearing on ESPN's Get Up:

The choice was an ironic one on Rousey's part, since she and Punk have essentially taken opposite career paths.

Rousey dominated in MMA and became the first UFC women's bantamweight champion before losing a pair of fights and switching to professional wrestling/

Conversely, Punk developed into one of the best and most decorated WWE Superstars of all time, but he left the company in 2014 over myriad disagreements.

He later tried his hand in the Octagon, but he was beaten by Mickey Gall at UFC 203 in 2016 by first-round submission.

Punk hasn't had another fight since, but there are rumblings that he could face Mike Jackson at June's UFC 225 event in his hometown of Chicago.

Although Punk's potential future in wrestling remains uncertain, Rousey is set to take part in one of WrestleMania 34's headline matches, as she will team with Kurt Angle to take on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in New Orleans.
