The leak reads as follows:

“Ronda Rousey will be at MK Day and will be part of the livestream stage presentation. We’re preparing a short video to introduce her and announce her as the voice of Sonya. I’ve started sending over what we have for Sonya, which hasn’t been much so far. I’m expecting a V1 soon.”

Rousey is known for being the first American woman to win an Olympic medal for judo, her two-and-a-half year undefeated streak with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and her more recent wrestling career with WWE Raw. Away from fighting in the ring, Rousey has appeared in movies including The Expendables 3, Entourage, and Furious 7.

As for Sonya Blade, she’s been part of Mortal Kombat since the first game in 1992, but was a late addition when Midway Games decided the title needed a female character. Sonya has also appeared in the two live-action movies and would be a likely candidate for the reboot movie that is currently in development hell. Sonya was previously voiced by actors including Kerri Hoskins, Jennifer Hale, and Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer.

Elsewhere, Mortal Kombat 11 will apparently include a new character called Geras, who will get their own cinematic trailer during the Kommunity Reveal event. If the Rousey rumors are legitimate, it will be interesting to see whether Sonya’s look is adapted to mirror the WWE champion or whether Rousey is simply providing the vocals. Considering Sonya was originally based on martial artist Cynthia Rothrock, it makes perfect sense that someone like Rousey voices the part in Mortal Kombat 11.
