Ronda Rousey ruffled quite a few feathers this week when, in an interview with Steve-O, she explained why she had desire to return to WWE on a full-time basis. The former Raw Women’s Champion explained, “”So it’s just like … what am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of fโing ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me? I love performing. I love the girls. I love being out there … but, at the end of the day, I was just like, ‘Fโ these fans, dude.’”

She then doubled down, echoing previous comments she had made about wrestling being “fake” compared to MMA.

I canโt wait for Ronda 2 one day return 2 WWE. Even if WWE orders me to make Ronda look good in the ring, which is the ONLY way for Ronda 2 look good in the ring w/me. Iโll risk my job 2 go down in history as the one from this biz that knocked her the F**K out! #TestMeBitch
