Nia Jax said that she will knock Ronda Rousey out if she dares to return to the wrestling ring. JBL recently revealed how the WWE wrestlers reacted to the controversial comments made by Ronda Rousey.
Some time ago, Ronda Rousey referred to pro wrestling as “fake fights for fun.” Here is a little reminder:
JBL recently responded to the controversial comments made by Ronda Rousey. He mentioned the comments were tongue-in-cheek and not meant to offend anyone.
“I mean, if she didn’t [do it on purpose], she hit a goldmine. If she did [do it on purpose], she’s really smart. And she may be, I don’t know her. I don’t know either way. People say good things about her in the WWE that I’ve talked to.”
Other wrestlers such as Lana and Alexa Bliss both responded negatively to the comments. And even Triple H was forced to give his opinion on the matter.
Much like JBL, Triple H made it seem like Ronda was working an angle.
“The thing with Ronda is, you never know what she is saying. Is she attacking the business, really, or is she attacking the business because she knows that’s what lights up the fans that love the business, that are gonna wanna see you?”
Rousey had a natural flair for the business. Whether you love or hate her, you cannot deny that.
And while she did not have the experience of most female wrestlers, she had the charisma and work ethic. Of course, her run was way too short for most fans.
Ronda retired from pro wrestling after revealing she wanted to start a family. Since then, the UFC legend has not returned to a wrestling ring.
Despite her absence, Rousey stays somewhat involved in the WWE women’s division. Recently, she supported Sasha Banks’ charity efforts for Soles4Souls.
Other than the occasional retweet, Rousey has not revealed any intention to return to the WWE. A shame though, as I think she could do so much for the women’s division in the future.
For now, we will have to continue without Rousey. Fortunately, there are many female wrestlers to support, including Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss.
It has been a little quiet around the women’s division since Becky Lynch left, and since Charlotte went off to have surgery. However, things seem to be getting right again with Sasha Banks at the helm.
