Ronda Rousey is slated to release her autobiography, “Our Fight,” next month and in it, she went off on her former boss.
Criticism
Fans shouldn’t hold their breath about the former WWE star returning to the company anytime soon, as she has been critical of the promotion in the past. A few months ago, Rousey sent out a tweet regarding Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard, giving her thoughts on McMahon’s resignation from TKO following the bombshell lawsuit filed against him by Janel Grant.
Rousey noted she believes that McMahon will still have a say in the business through longtime WWE exec Bruce Prichard, who has been a strong supporter of McMahon over the years.
Latest shot
In her autobiography, Rousey let her feelings be known about Vince McMahon when she said, “It’s hard to sometimes know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character of Vince McMahon played out for the cameras ends and the actual questionably ethical, many times sued, and multiple times accused of sexual misconduct Vince McMahon begins.” She wrote that the blurred line is “recurring theme within the WWE Universe.”
She wrote, “[Pay-per-views events are] held in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, as well as now twice a year in Saudi Arabia, a nation that restricts the rights of women in a way that I’m certain Vince McMahon wishes he could.”
She added, “WWE bills itself as a sports entertainment organization, and just like in the mainstream entertainment industry, there was by all accounts a casting couch culture where men backstage in powerful positions pressured female talent for sexual favors in return for airtime.”’
Rousey’s last WWE match was a loss to Shayna Baszler this past Summer at SummerSlam. She is currently focused on her family for now, putting a pause on her wrestling career.
