Ronda Rousey’s autobiography, “Our Fight,” sheds light on her unhappiness with her booking decisions during her second stint with WWE.
Rousey criticizes the company for giving her and Shayna Baszler minimal screen time compared to other wrestlers.
Focused on Life Outside Wrestling Now
In the book, Rousey describes a creative plan where she and Shayna would appear briefly in the background of a backstage interview. This would be followed by shouting from the locker room and Rousey storming out.
This limited role frustrated Rousey, especially considering Seth Rollins received two separate segments for a solo promo, and The Bloodline had an entire segment dedicated to a video recap.
Rousey’s criticism highlights a potential issue for some wrestlers: feeling undervalued. When a wrestler’s role is significantly reduced compared to others, it can be seen as a sign of disrespect, especially when the reduced role involves minimal effort, like a background appearance.
Ronda Rousey is now focused on her life outside of WWE. While her criticisms may raise eyebrows, it’s important to remember that these experiences happened during her second run with the company.
It’s possible her perspective on WWE has changed since then. Regardless, her story offers a look into the world of professional wrestling, where booking decisions and screen time can significantly impact a wrestler’s experience.
