It will probably be the other way around, WWE will get more mainstream/casual viewers attention if Rousey was the one to break Asukas undefeated streak. They should only do it if she signs a long term contract though, not if it's a short term or once off thing. Asuka is money and it'd be a shame to throw it away just so Vince can wet his pants over having a fluff segment on sports centre.
It's all going wrong for TNA/IMPACT WRESTLING/Global Force Wrestling again; Jeff Jarrett has also gone (again) due to undislosed personal issues (possibly alcohol abuse, maybe as bad as cocaine): https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/0 ... -wrestling
Anthem apprently want out of the wrestling business entirely, which also leaves the World of Sport agreement in limbo I would imagine. That tape library is just begging to be purchased by McMahon.

Yeah, that's was very strange. I can only imagine Vince to talking to KO backstage before hand and saying. I want you to headbutt me real hard, as hard as you can, don't hold back, hit me dammit. Leaving Owens thinking, erm ok boss whatever you want.
Wouldn't surprise me if Vince's ego still thinks he can "hang with the boys" at his age. Shibata in NJPW did a similar headset to someone earlier this year, collapsed back stage and was rushed to hospital with bleeding on the brain and that's basically his career over.

Shibata had just been through a hell of a match and was apparently dehydrated as hell. He's also been wrestling that style for years and it finally caught up with him.
The Owens/McMahan segment on YouTube already has 1,800,000 views in only 17 hours, so it's obviously created a bit of a buzz. Also shows how people, including myself, watch Raw and Smackdown these days.
