Ronda Rousey has once again held nothing back in regard to her thoughts about WWE.
Last competing for the promotion at SummerSlam 2023, where Rousey lost an MMA rules match to Shayna Baszler, Rousey has not been referenced on WWE TV and has not hinted that she will be back in the company anytime soon. Additionally, Ronda Rousey confirmed her WWE departure shortly after the loss. However, with this tactic being used in the past, there is a belief that The Baddest Woman on the Planet will eventually return to the biggest professional wrestling company in the world. Judging by Rousey’s latest comments, this seems even less likely.
Speaking on Never Before Told to promote her upcoming autobiography Our Fight, Rousey was asked about some behind-the-scenes details that fans will learn when they read the book. The former Women’s Champion called out WWE’s lack of organisation and that there are no plans to return:
“Behind the scenes? How much of an absolute shit show it is at the WWE because they can’t hold the story over my head and hold me hostage with my own career. I don’t need anything from them and I don’t intend on going back, so I can say everything that I think and feel while everybody else is still held captive by their organization,”
Ronda Rousey Calls Out Vince McMahon
Excerpts from Rousey’s memoir, which will be released on April 4th, have been published online by outlets. As reported by Inside The Ropes, Rousey launched a tirade on Vince McMahon and his treatment of women:
“NXT was founded by and under the control of Triple H, real name Paul Levesque. In addition to being my in-ring WrestleMania nemesis, he is arguably one of the best professional wrestlers in history and one of the better people on the business side. He is married to Stephanie McMahon, who is the daughter of WWE’s Emperor Palpatine, Vince McMahon. Vince took over the company from his father in the early 1980s and spent the better part of forty years playing a real-world pro-wrestling version of Monopoly, buying up and absorbing smaller promotions until he basically owned them all.
It’s hard sometimes to know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character of Vince McMahon played out for the cameras ends and the actual questionably ethical, many times sued, and multiple times accused of sexual misconduct Vince McMahon begins. That blurred line between character and reality is a recurring theme within the WWE Universe.”
“[Pay-per-views are] held in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, as well as now twice a year in Saudi Arabia, a nation that restricts the rights of women in a way that I’m certain Vince McMahon wishes he could.”
