Ronda Rousey, the former UFC champion, has certainly stirred things up during her six years in WWE, often clashing with prominent stars such as Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan. One significant instance of contention involved Booker T, a WWE Hall of Famer, who voiced his frustrations regarding Rousey’s attitude.
In a YouTube vlog leading up to WrestleMania 35, Rousey characterized her experience with WWE as being “scripted,” causing confusion and prompting her to disrespect the unwritten rules of the wrestling world. This stirred Booker T to discuss her remarks on his podcast, calling them “face slaps” to the female wrestlers. Another incident that upset Booker occurred at WrestleMania 34, where he was watching the Masters Tournament on his phone during a catering event, only to be asked by a member of Rousey’s team to lower the volume as she was about to perform. Booker explained on his podcast that his phone was not disruptive compared to the noise around him and criticized the individual for lacking basic backstage etiquette.
### Fan Take:
This situation highlights the ongoing tension between established stars and new talent in wrestling, shedding light on the importance of maintaining professionalism in the industry. For fans, such controversies can add intrigue to storylines, illustrating the blurred lines between reality and scripted entertainment in wrestling.
