Ronda Rousey appeared on the Wild Ride! podcast with Steve-O to make the WWE fans outrageous via her comments towards pro-wrestling.

While speaking about WWE the host asked her about her comeback plans in the company. She confirmed to have plans to have a return plan, eventually but never ever she is going to perform in a full-time role as leaving her family for 200 days in a year is literally impossible.

Going a step forward, Ronda Rousey then said, it was fun to have fake fights during her run with the WWE,

“I love the WWE,” Rousey said. “I had such a great time. I love all the girls in the locker room. Running out there and having fake fights for fun is just the best thing. I love choreography. I love acting. I love theater. Live theater and some of the last forms of live theater.”

Since then several WWE Superstars like Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Lana and more have commented on this negative publicity towards WWE. This led the UFC Hall of Famer to give a clarification on her comments with the hashtag of #kayfabekiller.

“Anyone who is outraged by me calling pro wrestling ‘fake fights for fun’ has never been in a REAL fight. While you all are tiptoeing around bruising some pro wrestlers’ huge soft egos — no one is thinking about all the REAL fighters you’re insulting when pretending pro wrestling is somehow on the same level of realism. Yes, I understand, wrestling 300 days a year for years on end is incredibly tough on the body and a difficult profession — but do you know what would happen if you got in 300 REAL fights a year? You would be dead,” Ronda Rousey wrote.

Ronda Rousey Hints About Returning To WWE; Becky Lynch Takes Shots At Her

The Baddest Woman on the Planet portrayed her heel persona during the interview to confirm that she’d rather stay at home to spend her time and energy on family than performing for the ‘ungrateful’ WWE fans,

“What am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f–king ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me?” Rousey wondered. “The thing is, I love performing. I love the girls. I love being out there. But, at the end of the day, I was just like, ‘F–k these fans, dude.’ My family loves me. They appreciate me. I want all of my energy to go into them.”

Ronda Rousey spent most of her WWE career as a babyface persona and the Raw Women’s Champion until Becky Lynch rose to the occasion and stole her thunder.

This forced her to transform into an organic heel persona whose charisma was being overshadowed by The Man. Starting from then, the bonafide MMA fighter has decided to grow bad blood with the WWE fans.

The former UFC Bantamweight Champion raised speculations to make a comeback around WrestleMania 36 which was not the case. Ronda Rousey was also seen at WWE HQ at Stamford, Connecticut to have some discussion with WWE officials to give some creative inputs over her return.

There’s no update whether that went down well. The last time we have seen Ronda Rousey was at WrestleMania 35 main event triple threat match where she lost the RAW Women’s Title to Becky Lynch.
