The wrestling world is abuzz with reactions to Ronda Rousey's recent comments about the WWE creative team and their booking of the women's division.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet called out the company's creative for how they booked the feud between her and Liv Morgan last summer. Rousey stated that the program was booked by a bunch of octogenarians (an 80-89-year-old person) who put less than five minutes into the women's storylines.
"Imagine what our@yaonlylivvonce feud could have been if we weren’t hamstrung by a bunch of octogenarians who still think they know how to be hip while putting less than 5 minutes of thought a week into each women’s storyline… 🤔 new #RondaOnTheRoad," said Rousey on Instagram.
Ronda's comments caused a major stir online. While some fans agreed with the former UFC star's statement, a section of people bashed Ronda for complaining and her unsatisfactory performances inside the squared circle.
