Ronda Rousey officially parted ways with WWE after she was defeated by Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam in August of 2023, but she’s been talking a lot about her time with the company recently as she promotes her new book Our Fight.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet has had some negative things to say about her run with WWE and her comments have caught the attention of the wrestling world. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently discussed Ronda’s comments on his Grilling JR podcast while sharing his take on what she could be doing differently right now.
It’s unsettling, honestly. I don’t know that’s the way to promote any product in a negative light. Negative light doesn’t shine very brightly on most projects. I understand what she’s doing. I understand why she’s doing it. She wants to sell books, and I’m sure her book is good. She’s very outspoken, she’s very honest, but I think sometimes you gotta unsaddle that negative horse, saddle it back up with something that’s more positive, and that’s would be my suggestion to her.
I’m a big fan of Ronda Rousey’s. I really believe she’s special. No one was ever quite like her. But she’s awfully bitter right now. Like I said, sometimes the bitterness is a sensation or a seasoning…sometimes the seasoning, it turns you off a little bit. So I think she’d be better served talking about her book than talking about her experiences with WWE. You can sure tell, from the little bit that I’ve read or heard from here, she sure as hell is not a fan of Vince McMahon.”
