    Recently Retired UFC Star Wants to Be ‘Female Undertaker’ in WWE or AEW

    One recently retired UFC star is looking to become the “female Undertaker” of WWE or All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

    A growing number of mixed martial arts (MMA) stars seem to be gaining interest in transitioning to professional wrestling once their fighting days are done. Names that have already made the jump include Shayna Baszler, Ronda Rousey, Valerie Loureda, Paige VanZant, and so many more.

    Now, former UFC flyweight title challenger Jessica “Evil” Eye is looking at a transition to professional wrestling. Eye retired over the weekend after suffering a defeat to Maycee Barber at UFC 276.

    It was Eye’s fourth-straight defeat, thus deciding to hang up the gloves for good. Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Eye expressed interest in becoming the “female Undertaker” of professional wrestling.

    “I’ve always wanted to dabble in wrestling,” Jessica Eye said (via MMA News). “In pro wrestling. I want to be the female Undertaker. I want to ride a motorcycle down to the Octagon and DDT somebody. I’d love to do that.

    “I tried out a couple of years ago during COVID and I ended up making it. Suffered a lot of health issues — I lost my gall bladder, found out about the parasites so — AEW, WWE lets go. Jessica “Evil Eye” is ready. Jessica “Evil” Eye does not end here, she’s just starting a new journey.”

    Should Eye decide to pull the trigger on the move, it would be interesting to see where she ultimately ends up. WWE has a track record of picking up former mixed martial artists such as Rousey, Baszler, Sonya Deville, and many more.

    However, AEW recently signed VanZant, a former UFC star and current bare-knuckle boxing competitor. Eye certainly has no shortage of opportunities should both promotions show interest.

    Jessica Eye Says She Wants To Wrestle In AEW

    Jessica Eye has said she would like to wrestle for All Elite Wrestling. The Xtreme Couture fighter is scheduled to face Manon Fiorot at UFC 272 on March 5th but took to Twitter to express that her future might be in pro-wrestling.

    Perhaps if Eye is considering wrestling in AEW she may want to jump ship to Dan Lambert’s American Top Team, who have been featured on AEW programming as of late.

    This is not the first time Eye has expressed an interest in pro-wrestling. Back in 2018, she made an appearance at Cleveland Knights Championship Wrestling’s “New World Rising” event.

    Not long after her appearance, she tagged WWE in an article about it.

    Eye holds a career 15-10 record but has dropped 4 of her last 5 fights and is on a 3-fight losing skid. She dropped a unanimous decision on July 10th, 2021 to Jennifer Maia in her last fight.

    She’ll be making quite the comeback after a lengthy illness that left her hospitalized back in October.

    “TBT OCT 19th 2021: a 5 days stay in Summerlin LV hospital battling Sepsis and Ecoli. One of the worse sickness I have EVER faced and more deadly then what I knew or understood. I am thankful for those who looked after me that week,” she posted recently.
