The self important one speaks again. This time she's crying about having to work with top draw at the time Alexa Bliss for her first feud
Ronda Rousey feels it’s “f*cking ridiculous” that WWE had her facing off against Alexa Bliss in the ring.One of Rousey’s first-ever pro wrestling feuds was against Bliss, with Rousey defeating her to win the Raw Women’s Championship at SummerSlam 2018. It was the first title that Rousey won in her pro wrestling career.
During an appearance on The Lapsed Fan podcast, Rousey discussed how she was presented by WWE in her transition over from being a legitimate MMA fighter.
“The fact that they had me fighting Alexa Bliss at all was f*cking ridiculous,” Rousey said about facing the smaller Bliss. “And you want to know why they had me against Alexa Bliss? Because she had the most merch sales at the time, on that side. Like, what the f*ck? Like, that’s your decision making process?”
Rousey’s comments drew a reaction from AEW star MJF, who tweeted the following: “It’s almost like pro wrestling much like any professional sport functions as a business. F*cking crazy [mindblown emoji]”
While not responding to Rousey directly, Bliss sent out a tweet this afternoon that appears to be related to her comments:
I love our business

Rousey last wrestled in 2023 and is now focused on pursuing writing as a career. In the Lapsed Fan interview, she said wrestling is “pretty much” in her rearview mirror at this point. She views her time in WWE as a sort of sabbatical where she learned things that can be applied to her current passions.
“That’s what made me have to step away, because it got to the point where I’m just like, they’re never going to allow me to make it as good as it can be, and, like, meeting them halfway in this range of mediocrity is like crushing my soul. So I can’t continue to do that,” Rousey said. “So I’m going to go f*cking be awesome and doing other things.
“I’ll take everything that I learned from pro wrestling and apply it elsewhere into my other passions, you know, in comics and fight choreography and in film and screenwriting and all of these things. If anything, it was like I was doing like a sabbatical. When you go off and you study something for years and come back and utilize what you learned, that was my wrestling sabbatical.
“I will take everything that I learned from that and apply it to all the other spaces that are bringing me joy.”
