In a recent interview promoting her memoir “Our Fight,” Ronda Rousey, renowned as the Baddest Woman on the Planet, pulled no punches in expressing her stance on never returning to WWE.
During the “Never Before Told” interview segment, Rousey was candid about her experiences, shedding light on behind-the-scenes dynamics.
She didn’t hold back in her criticism of WWE, highlighting the organizational challenges she encountered.
“Behind the scenes? How much of an absolute sh*t 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,”
she stated.
Ronda Rousey’s WWE journey spanned two significant stints. Her initial venture began in late 2017, marked by a memorable debut appearance at the Royal Rumble event.
Teaming up with Kurt Angle, she clinched victory against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H at WrestleMania 34, setting the stage for a remarkable one-year tenure.
Rousey’s dominance culminated in her capturing the RAW Women’s title by defeating Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam 2018, defending it against formidable opponents until her historic loss to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania, the first-ever women’s main event.
A resurgence in WWE beckoned for Rousey in 2022, marked by a triumphant return at Royal Rumble, where she emerged victorious in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
Challenging Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s title at WrestleMania 38, Rousey’s journey encountered setbacks, leading to her eventual departure after a memorable tenure that included multiple title reigns.
Her final bout at SummerSlam 2023 against Shayna Baszler, contested under MMA rules, concluded her WWE chapter.
Ronda Rousey’s definitive statement reflects her resolve to chart her own course beyond the confines of WWE, resonating with her unwavering commitment to authenticity and independence.
