Ronda Rousey departed from WWE following her MMA Rules Match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023. Subsequently, she has openly voiced her dissatisfaction with the company, making several critical statements about WWE.
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Rousey talked about her time in WWE and shared her thoughts on her farewell match with Baszler.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her MMA Rules match at SummerSlam: “I think if we did the match at [GCW] Bloodsport or something, people would have loved it, but I think the crowd, it wasn’t for them at all. It was all MMA easter eggs and all of these moments in MMA history that we’re big geeks for that…it was a nice little ‘f**k you’ on the way out. ‘You’re gonna sit here and watch this match that we wanted to do from the very beginning.’ I don’t care what you think, go get some f*****g popcorn. But yeah, we loved it.”
On wanting to wrestle and put over Shayna Baszler: “I always wanted to be able to wrestle with Shayna and be able to put her over and leave. I was like, ‘Fine, I’m gonna tag with Shayna, and she’s in turn on me, and then I’m gonna leave, or I’m gonna f*****g leave right now.’”
