Ronda Rousey continues to rage against WWE management as she promotes her new “Our Fight” memoir.
While Rousey doesn’t have any issues with most of her former colleagues in WWE, she says Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis can “go f**k themselves.”
You can check out some highlights from Rousey’s appearance on the “Never Before Told” podcast below:
On beef between fighters: “In MMA, I originally just started them for publicity, but those other b*tches did not get the memo, and so they became personal, and in WWE, it’s all fake, I love them. Except for Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis, they can go f**k themselves. That’s real.”
On unexpected things she wrote about in the book: “One would be my IVF journey that I had to go through to have [her daughter.]
On writing about her concussions: “There was just so much to it that I couldn’t talk about it in the form of an interview or an article or anything like that, or there would be several filters between my words and people reading it….and so much had to do with, having so many concussions when I was in judo before I even got into MMA. I couldn’t talk about it at all when I was doing MMA because it would like, basically, literally put a target on my head, and I might not have been allowed to compete any further. Same thing with WWE, they have a complicated history with their performers getting concussions and it’d be a bad look on them, and so I really felt like I couldn’t talk about it at all, and so long form, I feel like it’s the only way that I’d be able to adequately address it.”
Ronda Rousey, the former UFC fighter turned WWE superstar, is making headlines once again as she promotes her new memoir, “Our Fight.” In a recent appearance on the “Never Before Told” podcast, Rousey didn’t hold back when expressing her feelings towards WWE management.
While Rousey stated that she doesn’t have any issues with most of her former colleagues in WWE, she specifically called out Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis, saying they can “go f**k themselves.” This strong statement showcases the intensity of Rousey’s emotions towards these individuals.
When discussing her book, Rousey revealed some unexpected topics she wrote about. One of them is her IVF (in vitro fertilization) journey, which she had to go through in order to have her daughter. This personal aspect of her life adds depth to her memoir and allows readers to gain insight into the challenges she faced outside of the fighting world.
Another topic Rousey addresses in her book is her experience with concussions. She explains that there was so much to this issue that she couldn’t effectively discuss it in interviews or articles. Rousey reveals that she suffered numerous concussions during her time in judo before even entering the world of MMA. She felt unable to talk about it during her MMA career due to potential repercussions and a target being placed on her head. Similarly, WWE has a complicated history with performers and concussions, so Rousey felt restricted in discussing this topic while working with the company. Writing a long-form memoir allowed her to adequately address this important issue.
Rousey’s appearance on the podcast provides fans with a glimpse into her mindset and the motivations behind writing her memoir. Her candidness and willingness to discuss personal topics like IVF and concussions shed light on the challenges she faced both inside and outside the ring.
As Rousey continues to promote “Our Fight,” it’s clear that she is not afraid to speak her mind and share her experiences. Her memoir offers fans a deeper understanding of her life and career, making it a must-read for both MMA and WWE enthusiasts.
