3 reasons why Ronda Rousey recently called WWE 'fake' despite being contracted to the company

WWE is the largest professional wrestling company in the world. However, like every professional wrestling company, WWE is also scripted. The outcomes of every match are predetermined. Even most of the actions performed inside the ring are choreographed to an extent - at least for the majority of the roster.

However, WWE is strict when it comes to exposing its business. WWE Superstars are not allowed to say that WWE is "scripted" or "fake", especially on the road. However, a couple of days ago, the RAW Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey, broke all the conventional rules and tore WWE down.

Rousey even said that she did not deliver a promo that was asked of her and went off-script. She also implied that none of the women superstars in WWE could survive her in a real fight.

Why would Rousey go as far as exposing her employer and the business which is employing her?

In this thread, we will take a look at a few of the possible reasons why Ronda Rousey called WWE "fake" while still employed.

#3 The whole angle is an elaborate work

The biggest problem of modern wrestling is that the WWE Universe often cheers the heels and boos the babyfaces - causing a massive headache to WWE. However, as the saying goes - "modern problems require modern solutions".

WWE might be interested in trying out a modern solution by using Ronda Rousey to expose the entire business, thus garnering some real-life heat from the WWE Universe in the process.

If this "shoot" was a work, then WWE has mostly succeeded in it so far. The whole WWE Universe has turned on Ronda Rousey, making her one of the biggest heels in the company at the moment. In case you missed the last RAW, Rousey turned heel on Becky Lynch after ferociously attacking her repeatedly during a contract signing ceremony.

RAW ended with a brutal beatdown

Every WWE Superstar has a family that is not related to the business, and for most of them, they are off limits to other wrestlers. While there have been many instances where WWE Superstars' family members were dragged in to intensify the feud, Ronda Rousey is not interested in pulling her husband into her rivalry against Becky Lynch.

After months of being engaged in an infamous Twitter battle against Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey began taking shots at WWE and Becky Lynch's armbar - which looked fake to the former UFC Bantamweight Champion. This Tweet prompted Lynch to retaliate, poking at Rousey's husband, Travis Browne.

However, Rousey did not take this lightly and ended the conversation with a serious looking tweet calling Lynch by her real name "Rebecca Quin" and threatened to go off-script during their next encounter.

Rebecca Quin, I don’t care what the script says, I’m beating the living shit out of you the next time I see you.

#1 Ronda has had enough of the business

When Ronda Rousey made her debut at the 2018 edition of Royal Rumble, she got a positive reaction. After her debut match at WrestleMania 34 against the team of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, her reception became better with time. However, once she won the RAW tag team championship at SummerSlam 2018, the positive reaction began subsiding.

The final nail in the coffin was Rousey's Survivor Series feud against Becky Lynch which propelled the latter to immense popularity while pushing the former to adverse reactions.

When Rousey came to WWE, she expected the fans to root for her. However, unlike in UFC, fans in WWE rooted for the better character, rather than the better "fighter". Rousey's character, unfortunately, was not a brilliant one. Thus fans began losing interest in her. Ronda has been visibly stuttering during her promos while the fans reacted in a way she did not expect.

Thus, Rousey could have concluded that working in WWE is not worth her time, especially since she is getting a hostile reaction. Rousey might be planning to take a break or even quit from WWE after WrestleMania 35 - prompting her to shoot at WWE.
