Ronda Rousey remains a top attraction on WWE TV since her return to television, earlier this year after a long wait. Being one of the top female performers within the WWE, she is clad with a championship gold and that run is likely to be extended for a long time.
Before signing a contract with the Vince McMahon-owned professional wrestling promotion, Ronda Rousey was a bonafide MMA performer who took the fame of the UFC promotion to a different level. Due to her love for professional wrestling, her transition to this industry was quick. Recently she also addressed those people who refer to wrestling as “fake.”

Ronda Rousey herself was frustrated with the concept of professional wrestling and its fans but that was all part of an ongoing storyline. In reality, she does have a lot of respect for the sport as she went into detail about the same during an appearance on The Kurt Angle Show.
The two-time WWE Women’s Champion had not only spoken about the scripted nature of wrestling but also blasted the haters for calling it fake. Ronda Rousey admitted that a “pre-determined winner” helps a lot but it also comes with “a lot less pressure” in comparison to an MMA fight.

Ronda Rousey bashed the haters of professional wrestling
“It really does help a lot, and I don’t think pro wrestlers understand how much that it helps because a lot of times I’ll hear people be so offended that like, ‘How dare you call this fake! There’s no fake way to go through a table,’” Ronda Rousey continued, “or ‘This injury is real.’ And I’m like, ‘You guys, it’s not like the physical toll that makes something real.’” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
The Baddest Woman on the Planet emphasized the fact that even though pro wrestling is scripted, the dangers of performing and getting injured are associated with it. Going through a table or a surreal bump is real as she acknowledged how challenging it is to put on a great showing while being in the ring.
Ronda Rousey was able to become the then-longest-reigning WWE Raw Women’s Champion during her first stint with the company in 2018. Then she also won the Smackdown Women’s Championship during her second stint at Wrestlemania Backlash 2022 edition.
