In March 2019, former RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey walked out to face Dana Brooke on Monday Night RAW. What happened next left the WWE Universe speechless.

At that time, she was engaged in a feud with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair as the three were set to meet in triple threat match at WrestleMania the following month.

The weeks leading up to this historical main event were stressful for all the three female Superstars as well as the WWE officials. The latter were exposed to their worst nightmare when the former UFC Champion unleashed the beast inside.

After defeating Brooke inside the ring, Rousey continued to assault her before WWE Officials came out to separate the two. At this point, The Baddest Woman on the Planet was set to make her heel turn. That idea was perfectly executed when she took out a group of WWE officials and referees one by one.

Later that week, WWE announced that Rousey had been fined for her unprofessional behavior. Below is the official statement by WWE following the incident.

“Ronda Rousey has been fined by WWE as a result of her unprofessional actions last Monday night on Raw. Due to the confidentiality of Rousey’s contract, the amount of the fine will not be disclosed. Appropriate action has been taken.”
