Cox isn’t at all bothered by the comparison, though - in fact, she finds the confusion flattering.

The widespread mix-up was certainly understandable - it’s a long-standing practice at Blizzard to celebrate pop culture icons with easter eggs hidden throughout the game, and Rousey wouldn’t have been the first celebrity to achieve the honor. 

The real inspiration for the monk NPC in Legion, however, is Cox’s ardent enthusiasm for the martial art kung fu san soo.

Better luck next time, Rousey.

What are your thoughts on the mix-up? Do you want Rousey to have an NPC too, or are you rooting for a different pop culture icon? Let us know in the comments.
