When the former UFC megastar, ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey made her debut for WWE, the WWE Universe knew that the former gold medalist is becoming a megastar in WWE as well. However, former SmackDown Women’s champion, Sasha Banks didn’t think the same about Rousey.

WWE strapped a rocket on Rousey’s back and she went to the moon. That’s how popular she was with the WWE Universe. However, it looks like ‘The Boss’ didn’t like Ronda’s backstage antics in WWE.

Eventually, the WWE Universe witnessed the change in the women’s division when Ronda injected a fresh wave of legitimacy into the division. We got to see Ronda vs Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax.

“I can only speak for myself. There, there might be a little tension. I don’t know real heat. I was pissed off that Ronda Rousey can come in, get more money than me. Get a locker room than me and bring all these people backstage and get more time than me.”

“That’s [sqaured circle] where that’s, that’s why I’m a legit boss, not Ronda Rousey. So there could have been a lot of tension from that. And the other three, I just didn’t know that. I didn’t even know why they call themselves The Four Horsemen. I was like, thank you so much for being a fan. But that was our trademark. Second, after Ric Flair in WCW.” Sasha admitted.
