WWE legend Booker T has wondered why Ronda Rousey is bitter, and predicted that she’s going to now not be welcome in the professional wrestling world.
Rousey recently made headlines when she criticized comedian, podcaster, and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, arguing that he is just not an authority in mixed martial arts. Booker T, on his “Hall of Fame” show, stated that she seems bitter about various things and believes that neither MMA nor pro wrestling will probably be a future destination for her.
“She’s already there [she’s bitter],” he said. “I do not understand how she will be able to come back from this. I do not think the wrestling world goes to embrace her ever again. I do know she’s within the gym training right no,w and that is an excellent thing only for, you understand, her mental state, trying to only get back in there and, you understand, [say] I can still do that. But I believe the fight game has passed her by. I believe, you understand, the wrestling world has passed her by. But that does not imply the world goes to ignore Ronda Rousey. And that is the part for me that I do not understand. Why is she attempting to make the world turn against her?”
Despite the criticism, Booker T believes that Rousey needs to be celebrated wherever she goes, be it UFC or WWE, for her contribution to each firms.
“I believe Ronda Rousey, anywhere she should show up, she must be praised,” he added.
Rousey has been critical of WWE since her exit, claiming that her potential was wasted during her last run in the corporate, and such comments looked as if it would indicate that she was done with pro wrestling and WWE. Nevertheless, she recently said that she could return to the ring, either in MMA or pro wrestling, sometime in the longer term.
