With the build for Ronda Rousey's eagerly anticipated RAW Women's Championship defense against Nikki Bella intensely heating up, both Rousey and Bella have let some vicious insults loose before Evolution. Representing two different era's in women's wrestling, the two Superstars have an obvious distaste for one another and what they each represent, leading to some exceptionally vicious personal attacks.
Rousey has made it clear that Nikki Bella represents an era that is better known for short matches, bathroom breaks, and pillow fights than professional wrestling. In no uncertain terms, Rousey has promised to end Bella and the Divas Era along with her.
Bella believes Rousey has done little to prove herself in the WWE and has challenged her inexperience and lack of success outside of the Octagon, where Rousey flourished as a former UFC Champion.
Both women have spewed deeply personal venomous insults toward one another both in the ring and on social media.
Join us as we take a look at the 5 Best Ronda Rousey/Nikki Bella insults.
#5 Nikki's social media tirade
Nikki Bella was triggered. After Rousey's scathing personal attacks on RAW, Bella had enough and who could blame her? She has been in the wrestling business for long and has struggled to accomplish too much, to have a WWE rookie disrespectfully attempt to tear it all down with mere words. So, Bella utilized one of her greatest talents and took to social media to re-frame the debate and, in turn, lash out at Ronda Rousey.
Bella, who has wrestled in almost 600 WWE matches, couldn't help, but point out Rousey's lack of experience. She tweeted the following resume comparison:
Bella then turned to The Bella Army, who also added to Bella's already impressive resume.
Nikki Bella retweeted the following:
Nikki Bella didn't stop there. She also retweeted a fan, who questioned Rousey's overall level of commitment and claimed that Rousey's WWE run would indeed be a short one:
Bella closed with the following via Instagram with the bold claim that she is 'The table':
#4 Ronda Rousey's social media attack
After being brutally back stabbed and betrayed by The Bella Twins on RAW, Ronda Rousey took to social media to vent her frustrations.
She pulled no punches,
"There’s a big difference to being present and being useful. Mentioning your name with with respected names doesn’t make you respectable. It makes you a name dropper. And name drop you do! You drop so many names it amazes me you ever could hold them all in your pea sized brain in the first place."
Rousey then continued, accusing Nikki Bella of having earned nothing. Instead, Rousey claimed that Bella has been given everything she had,
"You were GIVEN a title, you were GIVEN a show, you were GIVEN a producer credit (I’m sure you have no clue what a producer actually does) the only thing in your whole life you’ve worked to earn is a really Rowdy ass whoopin."
In a separate Instagram post, Rousey attacked Bella's accomplishments outside the wrestling ring,
"Someone typing the title 'producer' next to your name in the credits doesn't make you some kind of god. The extent of your involvement in Total Divas and Total Bellas is you let them film you act like idiots whenever they want and in exchange, they give you fancy titles in the credits. Whoopidy-f-n-doo."
The Bellas often tout their highly viewed YouTube channel as a measurement of their success; but, Rousey wasn't having any of it,
"And If having a “successful” YouTube channel makes it to your short list of accomplishments, you’re not doing near as well as you imagine."
Rousey continued, reducing her Evolution opponent to a wet tee shirt model,
"I’m busy and touring the northeast with Wwe live at this very moment. What’re you doing? Taking another picture in a wet T-shirt while trying to sell wine? See you at Evolution."
#3 The John Cena low blow
Ronda Rousey went there. Despite suffering through a highly painful and tumultuous breakup with her then fiance, John Cena, Rousey attacked Bella for ever having the audacity to date Cena in the first place. Rousey then degraded each and every one of Bella's accomplishments, reducing them all to simply having been an outcome of Bella's relationship with Cena,
"You leached off of the names of your men. You plagiarize and dilute their move sets."
When Nikki Bella talked about having knocked down more doors than Rousey ever had, Rousey responded,
"Knocked down doors? My entire career, I've been knocking down doors. I knocked down doors in judo. I knocked down doors in strike force. I knocked down doors in the UFC and now I'm knocking down doors here at home in the WWE. The only door you ever knocked down was the door to John Cena's bedroom and he eventually threw you out of that exact same door."
The Bellas were uncomfortable. They were hurt. They were dumbfounded. They were shocked and RAW viewers could see their dismay all over their faces:
Rousey spewed,
"I really tried not to be judgmental even though everything that the Divas Era stood for made me sick to my stomach. I tried my best to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were just doing the best you could with what you have. I was too idealistic. I was too naive to see that you guys are the embodiment of a stereotype: DNB's - Do Nothing Bellas."
Rousey believes The Bellas, along with the Divas Era, belongs in the past,
"You're not pioneers. You're a callous. You're relics of the past waiting to be eviscerated like small pox."
Rousey seeks to prove her words this Sunday at Evolution.
#2 Nikki Bella goes after Rousey's mother
The feud between the two women has become so intense and so deeply personal that the wrestler's personal and familial relationships have become fodder. After Rousey attacked Bella's relationship with John Cena, it opened a proverbial door. Bella was all too eager to enter and proceeded to attack Rousey's relationship with her own mother.
This past week on RAW, the Bellas were reluctant to come to the ring for the Evolution contract signing. Nikki expressed her desire to sign the contract, but also wanted to keep things from getting physical. Rousey promised not to escalate things in such a direction and added,
"If either of you guys could hurt me with my hands behind my back, my mother would be ashamed of me."
This set the table for an incredibly incendiary low blow from Nikki Bella, who responded,
"You know Ronda, speaking of your mother, didn't you promise your mother that you would win the Olympics? Didn't you promise your mother that you would win the World Championships just like she did? Didn't you promise your mother that she would never have to watch her baby get hurt in the octagon and that you would retire undefeated? So, tell me Ronda did you give your mother your word to all those things? Don't you get it? Your mother is already ashamed of you & Ronda, imagine what your mother is going to think when a Diva will beat you for your title."
To add insult to injury, Bella slapped Rousey across the face, a choice that Rousey is sure to remember this Sunday at Evolution.
Rousey closed the segment with a promise,
"Come Sunday I will end you. I give you my word."
#1 You're Rubber, I'm Glue -- Bella takes the high road
Bella recently conducted a phone interview where she addressed Ronda Rousey's low-blows attacks on her accomplishments, and past relationship with John Cena. Bella openly talked about a day when women's wrestling would evolve past the point it still currently finds itself,
"I’ve grown thick-skinned to it. I just can’t wait for the day it can stop and not every promo towards me brings up my ex and I think it will [stop]. I think there will come a day for that, but maybe there won’t, but I do hope so.”
While Rousey has made every attempt at defining Bella as a relic of the past, Bella believes that it is Rousey bringing 'old ways' into the historic Evolution event,
"I think we are taking some old ways and bringing it into [Evolution]. I definitely hope it changes, and I think it will because I think the women are better than that. I think we can tell empowering stories that have nothing to do with men or how men define us because that’s the point of Evolution.
We define ourselves as women. We want the equality. We don’t want to be defined by our men or our relationships because almost every woman is in a relationship with another wrestler in our industry."
Bella opened up about how Rousey's words actually make her feel and also discussed the extent to which John Cena actually did help her career,
"I guess where it doesn’t make me angry or feel bad about myself is I know the hard work that I’ve done to get where I’m at,” Nikki said. “I know the stuff that … John didn’t do what everyone said. He was my biggest supporter. He gave me amazing advice. I’d pick his brain all the time, and that’s what he did for my career, [like] everyone who has that special person in their life.”
Nikki then dropped the mic with the following,
"I think for me, this is the part where not only do men need to evolve, but [also] women that just because a woman is successful doesn’t mean it’s because of her man. I think it’s unfair.”
Evolution, WWE's historic first ever all female pay-per-view, takes place this Sunday evening live from The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Nassau, New York. Bella and Rousey will go silent and settle their differences inside the wrestling ring. The match has been announced as the show's main event and closer. Wrestling fans can watch from home via the WWE Network.
