For years it was rumored that Ronda Rousey was interested in making the jump to professional wrestling and she finally made her in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34. Ronda has since completed two successful runs with the company and she opened up about her opinion on Vince McMahon in her new autobiography Our Fight which is set to be released in April.
In the book Ronda Rousey indicated that she found it hard to find the difference between who Vince McMahon was in real life and the character he played on TV. An excerpt from the book reads as follows:
“NXT was founded by and under the control of Triple H, real name Paul Levesque. In addition to being my in-ring WrestleMania nemesis, he is arguably one of the best professional wrestlers in history and one of the better people on the business side. He is married to Stephanie McMahon, who is the daughter of WWE’s Emperor Palpatine, Vince McMahon. Vince took over the company from his father in the early 1980s and spent the better part of forty years playing a real-world pro-wrestling version of Monopoly, buying up and absorbing smaller promotions until he basically owned them all.
It’s hard sometimes to 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. That blurred line between character and reality is a recurring theme within the WWE Universe.”
Ronda Rousey parted ways with WWE last year after she was defeated by Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam. She last wrestled when she competed for ROH in November of 2023, but as of right now there’s currently no word on whether or not she plans to return to wrestling in the future.
