Former WWE champion and former UFC champion, Ronda Rousey was the talk of the town for all wrong reasons after she made a harsh comment about pro wrestling and its ungrateful fans.

In a recent episode of Wild Ride podcast, Ronda opened up about her short but glorious stay at WWE and stated:

“What am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f****** ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me? The thing is, I love performing. I love the girls. I love being out there. “But, at the end of the day, I was just like, ‘F*** these fans, dude.’ My family loves me. They appreciate me. I want all of my energy to go into them. People think you’re only wrestling as much as they see you on TV, but they don’t realize that there’s three or four other days of live shows during the week. If I looked at all the live shows, I was only home a day and a half a week. It was just not worth it for my family … No, I’ll never be full time again – over 200 days a year on the road like that ever again.”

Nikki Bella blasts Ronda Rousey

Pro wrestling fans did not appreciate the comments from former WWE champion as they criticized her. Not just fans but WWE superstars including Nia Jax and Lana went hard at Rousey for her recent comments. Recently, Rousey’s close friend and former WWE champion, Nikki Bella gave her verdict on the matter and said:

“It was nothing against Ronda — it is thrilling that she is at WWE — but it was a bit of a slap in the face to all the historic women wrestlers who had come out for the match, the main event, only to have the moment upstaged by the Ronda announcement. It just didn’t need to happen like that.” (credit E!)
