Ronda Rousey Unleashes Scathing Criticism on WWE and Vince McMahon Ahead of WrestleMania
Former UFC champion and WWE superstar Ronda Rousey has pulled no punches in her recent comments about the WWE and its chairman, Vince McMahon. With WrestleMania just weeks away, Rousey has made her feelings clear in a no-holds-barred interview and in her upcoming book 'Our Fight'.
Rousey, who joined the WWE in 2017 after a successful career in the UFC, has been vocal about her experiences within the wrestling organization. In a recent Instagram Q&A session, she didn't mince her words when discussing the inner workings of the WWE.
"Behind the scenes? Oh yeah. How much of an absolute sh**show it is at the WWE… they can’t hold the sword over my head and hold me hostage with my own career and I don’t need anything from them and I don’t intend on going back so I can actually say everything that I think and feel where everybody else that is still held captive by their organization cannot," Rousey stated.
Her upcoming book, 'Our Fight', delves even further into her thoughts on Vince McMahon. An exclusive excerpt released on Inside The Ropes reads: "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..."
These scathing comments come at a time when McMahon has faced scrutiny and legal challenges. He resigned from TKO Group Holdings, WWE and UFC's parent company, amid sexual assault and trafficking allegations. The controversy surrounding McMahon has only added fuel to Rousey's criticisms.
Rousey's departure from the WWE roster last year has given her the freedom to speak openly about her experiences within the organization. Her willingness to speak out against the powerful figure of Vince McMahon has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions within the wrestling community.
As WrestleMania 40 approaches, Rousey's comments have added an extra layer of intrigue to the event. The annual spectacle is considered the pinnacle of the WWE calendar, and Rousey's outspokenness has put a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes drama that often accompanies the glitz and glamour of professional wrestling.
It's clear that Rousey's time in the WWE has left a lasting impression on her, and her decision to speak out against the company and its leadership is a bold move that has reverberated throughout the industry. As fans eagerly anticipate WrestleMania 40, Rousey's words have set the stage for a showdown both inside and outside the ring.
With Ari Emanuel now at the helm as the current CEO of the WWE, the organization is undergoing a period of change and transition. Rousey's criticisms may serve as a catalyst for further introspection within the company as it navigates its future in the wake of McMahon's resignation from TKO Group Holdings.
As the wrestling world gears up for WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia next month, Rousey's bold statements have injected an element of real-life drama into the scripted spectacle of professional wrestling. Whether her words will have a lasting impact on the WWE remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Ronda Rousey is not holding back, and her voice is being heard loud and clear.
