Wrestling legend exposes Ronda Rousey's problems working with other WWE stars: "She's thinking about this as a shoot" (Exclusive)

Veteran wrestling writer Vince Russo recently spoke about Ronda Rousey's animosity with WWE. The star has spoken out about the company on several occasions.

Ronda Rousey has blasted WWE on several occasions. During a recent interview, the star spoke about how she had to work with Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch, despite knowing that she could destroy them in real life. The former UFC sensation claimed the creative even wanted her to tap out to Becky's Disarm-Her, but she quickly shot down the idea.

On a recent episode of Writing with Russo, the veteran writer explained that Ronda Rousey viewed WWE as a platform to reshape her career. Russo pointed out that Ronda looked at wrestling for a shoot fighting angle and felt she could easily take down Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, and other girls on the roster. The veteran writer noted that other UFC stars like Ken Shamrock had a very easy transition into pro wrestling, but this was not the case with Rousey.

"She was really expecting to build her career on a different platform. When they're booking her, and she's looking at an Alexa Bliss, she's thinking about this as a shoot. She's looking at Becky and she's thinking, she knows she can destroy these girls. So it was very, very hard for her to make that transition. Some people have done it seamlessly like Shamrock. But I think it was very, very, very difficult for her to make that transition, man."

Ronda Rousey had a glorious debut at Wrestlemania, teaming up with Kurt Angle to defeat Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. However, she gradually became disillusioned with the business and soon took time off. Her second stint was eventful as well, where she returned to win the Women's Royal Rumble match in 2022.
