"I'm an avatar for a f**king 80-year-old per**rt" - Vince McMahon's decision landed ex-WWE star in trouble

Vince McMahon's run as WWE's CEO and the head of creative came to an end in 2022. One former WWE Superstar recently recalled the time when she landed in trouble with one of her former colleagues due to Mr. McMahon's call. The name in question is Ronda Rousey.

In 2018, Ronda Rousey was the most talked-about superstar in the industry following an impressive debut at WrestleMania 34. The Baddest Woman on the Planet quickly adapted to professional wrestling and found herself in several high-profile matches.

However, the former RAW Women's Champion was protected on several occasions, and she used an altered version of the armbar as her finisher throughout her career in the Stamford-based promotion. Triple H was the one who suggested she alter the move for professional wrestling.

In an interview with The Lapsed Fan, the former RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion recalled the time Vince McMahon asked Rousey to do multiple finishers on Becky Lynch. This move landed her in trouble with continuity, as for months, superstars sold the move, and McMahon's decision broke it. Later, Nia Jax had a word about it with Ronda Rousey, but the 38-year-old star stated her hands were tied, as her then-boss wanted to see it.

"The one time I did do it. When I leaned back on it straight, I think it was my heel turn or whatever. I felt like it had much more impact then, but freaking Vince liked it so much that he was like, 'Armbar her again,' and then Nia Jax was all pi**ed at me afterwards, and she was like, 'We spent all year selling the hell out of the armbar, and you just did three of them to Becky [Lynch]. I'm like, 'Dude, I'm an avatar for a f**king 80-year-old per**rt on the microphone, alright? I've no say in this," Rousey said. [From 17:10 to 17:52]

Ronda Rousey won't return to WWE for another run

Ronda Rousey had two runs in the Stamford-based promotion under the old leadership and got a glimpse of the new creative regime led by Triple H before she had her final match in the company at WWE SummerSlam 2023 against Shayna Baszler.

In an interview with WrestleZone, the former WWE RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion confirmed that she won't return to the global juggernaut for another run due to her past negative experience under the leadership of Vince McMahon.

In a recent interview, the veteran confirmed that she has put wrestling behind her for now.
