2) Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey might have given up the Octagon to try out the wrestling ring but the former UFC Bantamweight Champion was one reason why the sport grew more than a decade back.

Rousey isn’t wrestling any more though but she made a huge splash in TV and movies. She made appearances on 9-1-1, Game On and Blindspot while her movies list is great too.

Rowdy had big roles on Furious 7, part of the Fast and the Furious franchise, while she was also on The Expendables 3.

Rousey has also done voice-over work for WWE games and as Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11.
