WWE superstars have descended upon New York City this weekend for the much anticipated SummerSlam pay-per-view event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sunday, August 19.
Among the stars who will be competing at the SummerSlam PPV is none other than UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey, who will challenge Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's championship. Ahead of the biggest match of her young WWE career, Rousey paid a visit to lower Manhattan today for the unveiling of a new mural that features the phrase, "Fight Like A Girl."
Check out some footage of the mural unveiling, courtesy of CBS Sports' Brian Campbell, in the posts embedded below.

Rousey, who officially joined the WWE following the Royal Rumble PPV in January, has already had multiple high-profile bouts, including a mixed tag-team match against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H at Wrestlemania 34, and a title shot against former Raw Women's champion Nia Jax at the Money In The Bank PPV in June.
Of her time in the WWE thus far, Rousey couldn't be more pleased, telling ESPN, "I love this way more than I ever thought I would."
WWE SummerSlam, airing on the WWE Network, is scheduled to get underway on Sunday at 7pm ET, but there is also a two-hour kickoff show that will begin at 5pm ET. There are more than a dozen matches on the card, including Rousey vs Bliss for the Raw Women's championship, Roman Reigns vs Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe vs WWE Champion AJ Styles.
