Ronda Rousey, the former WWE champion and UFC Hall of Famer, has made some explosive claims about her time in the WWE, revealing that Paul Heyman and other backstage producers blamed Liv Morgan for her inability to connect with the fanbase during her title reign. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion made these claims in her autobiography, “Our Fight: A Memoir,” where she shared her experiences and behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the WWE.
According to Rousey, the WWE creative team, including Heyman, mistakenly believed that Morgan was the problem, rather than examining their own booking decisions. This is not the first time Rousey has spoken out about the WWE’s backstage politics and treatment of wrestlers. Since her departure from the Stamford-based promotion, Rousey has been vocal about the mistreatment she received from some people backstage.
Rousey also shared an interesting anecdote about Paul Heyman, revealing that he once asked her what kind of movie she would want to star in. This conversation seemingly sparked her interest in acting, and she has since started writing her first screenplay. Moreover, she revealed that she has a handshake deal with Netflix to adapt her memoirs into a screenplay, marking an exciting new chapter in her career.
Heyman, a key figure in The Bloodline storyline, had also shared details about a significant twist in the storyline that was planned by WWE a year in advance. Despite her tumultuous relationship with the WWE, Rousey’s experiences and insights have provided a fascinating look into the workings of the professional wrestling world.
The question on everyone’s mind is: will Ronda Rousey ever return to the WWE? While she has been vocal about her grievances with the company, her passion for wrestling and her ongoing projects in the entertainment industry might just bring her back to the ring in the future. Only time will tell.
