Ronda Rousey who recently dropped the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship to Liv Morgan recently spoke to where she talked about a potential heel turn in WWE and explained what kind of heel she would like to be in WWE. She also talked about being inspired by WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper. Ronda Rousey said;
“I think it was difficult in both judo and MMA, in that everyone else felt that they wanted more from me,” she answered, adding that in both sports she felt pressure to continue after she had lost the desire to do so. “In judo, you peak in your mid-twenties. I medaled at 21 so I was going to be 25 for the next Olympics.
“Everyone’s like, ‘this is it, you’re going to be the first woman to win an Olympic gold,’ and I didn’t want it anymore and I couldn’t do it for everybody else. I think that’s a mistake that I made with MMA was when I got to that point where I didn’t want it anymore, I kept doing it for everybody else.
“I think to be at that top level, you kind of have to be a people pleaser, you know? You want to please your coach, you want to please your parents, you want to please everybody watching. It’s one of the things that makes you excel but it’s one of those things that, it can be an obstacle a lot of times. Knowing when is the right time to walk away, it’s got to be your decision because not everybody else is going to come to a consensus and nobody knows what you’re actually going through and what it actually takes.
“He was the real heel though, who wanted you to hate him. He wasn’t the cool guy heel,” Rousey said of Piper. “That jacket that I wear that is a replica of his jacket is actually stab-proof because people would try to stab him.
“That’s the kind of heel I want to be. I want to be the kind of heel that really inspires that vitriol and really gets the other person liked. I think a lot of people forget that the job of the heel is to get the babyface over, not for everyone to think that you were a cool heel.
“I was supposed to come back as a heel. Vince McMahon was like, ‘well, they pop for her real big so she’s a babyface.’ So, I recorded a heel interview after and everyone was like, ‘what the hell?’”
