Rita Rooney is a minor character on Sam & Cat. She is a champion MMA fighter who got knocked out by Sam.

Biography[]

She has been flirting with Goomer, which he mistook as bullying. Sam, Cat and Dice took Goomer to Punchy's to confront her when they find out that she wasn't bullying him but flirting with him. Later, she sparred with Sam because she accidentally put her regular partner in the hospital. Sam knocked her down, which amazed everyone because Rita was the champion. A fight between the two girls was then scheduled in a few weeks after Sam was told that win or lose, she would get $25,000. At the press conference, Sam quits the fight so she can have fun again. Rita decides that she wants to hang out with Sam and have fun again, too. That night, she, Sam, and everyone else watch a movie in Sam and Cat's bedroom.

Personality[]

Rita is a talented MMA fighter with an extreme passion for her undertaking. Although she is honorable and professional in her sport, she is very flirty around Goomer and constantly goes out of her way to try to get his attention. Even though she does underestimate Sam at first, she proves herself quite affable despite Goomer’s slight slip with describing her, even joining in hanging out at the apartment.
