Rousey’s Dedication to the Women’s Division Shines Through
Ronda Rousey, a name synonymous with dominance, has left an indelible mark on the WWE universe. Her last appearance was at WWE Summerslam, where she faced off against Shayna Baszler in an MMA rules match. Following the bout, Rousey expressed her uncertainty about continuing in the wrestling world despite her illustrious achievements, including multiple women’s championships, a Royal Rumble victory, and a WrestleMania main event.
In a recent conversation with the “Eat Sleep Podcast Repeat,” Raquel Rodriguez shared her personal experiences with Rousey. Rodriguez painted a picture of Rousey as a dedicated and passionate wrestler. “Ronda carries herself like a superstar. I’ve had no bad experiences with her,” Rodriguez stated. She went on to praise Rousey’s commitment to the business and her efforts to uplift and support her fellow female wrestlers. “She wants a lot for the women in the division. She genuinely cares about the WWE’s women’s division,” Rodriguez added.
The two powerhouses, Rodriguez and Rousey, have clashed in the ring multiple times, with their WWE Smackdown women’s title bouts standing out. Rodriguez expressed her admiration for Rousey’s unique athletic prowess and her ability to bring out the best in her opponents. “Facing someone like Ronda makes you want to step up your game and be creative. It was a lot of fun for me,” she reminisced.
While Rodriguez’s recent challenge for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WWE Payback didn’t go in her favor, with Rhea Ripley emerging victorious, her reflections on Rousey highlight the mutual respect and camaraderie that exists among the top-tier female wrestlers in the industry.
