#3. Rousey's in-character comments didn't go over so well
To say that Ronda Rousey offended some of her fellow WWE Superstars on this season of Total Divas would be a vast understatement. No one has been more loyal to Ronda Rousey during her WWE run than Natalya, and Rousey even managed to get under her skin.
It all began when Rousey started showing signs of the heel turn that would lead to the historic WrestleMania 35 main event against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Rousey would utilize her enormous social media following and cut promos on her in-ring targets.

First up was none other than Total Divas cast-mate Sonya Deville. Rousey cut an in-character promo questioning Deville's MMA background and expertise, calling her a "hobbyist." Deville was offended by the comments, but Rousey noted,
"What I said back to her was in-character. It was an in-character interview and she was in-character saying sh*t about me. I have to in-character say something back. I really think that if they are in character and tweeting on Twitter for everyone to see, it's performance and I'm not gonna take offense to it."
Rousey claimed that Deville had double standards and added that she really didn't give "a f*ck," but the two women did eventually hash it out.
Perhaps Rousey's promo skills are a little too believable because she also offended both Nia Jax and Natalya.
Jax called out Rousey,
"It doesn't just take one person to make you a star. You are not the only person in this world, but for some reason you think that you can walk on water and that nobody can touch you. After all the hard work it's taken for - not only me, but every woman in this division to build her, to teach her - now she just does and says whatever she wants. That might have worked in the UFC, but that doesn't work here. In the WWE, we're a family. How dare you disrespect all the women who have laid the groundwork for you."
Jax confronted Rousey backstage and eventually, the two women came to an understanding and did hug it out.
After Rousey called wrestling "fake," Natalya was also offended by her comments and felt that Rousey "pushed the envelope too much." Natalya admitted,
"I think so highly of Ronda, so for her to say that everything we do is fake, it kind of made me go, 'Woah! I hope Ronda doesn't really think that.' I don't want her to think that we're just this phony business."
Rousey once again re-iterated that her comments were in-character and the two also came to an understanding.
