Ronda Rousey left WWE last year and it seems unlikely she will be coming back anytime soon. Amid the allegations made against Vince McMahon this year, Rousey tweeted that as long as Bruce Prichard is still there, McMahon still has a hand in what happens, claiming that was the case after McMahon retired for the first time in 2022. Turns out Rousey had a lot more to say about McMahon and the kind of person he is, and she has let fly about him in her new autobiography.

Ronda Rousey On Vince McMahon

Rousey Calls Into Question How Fictional The Mr.McMahon Character Was

Rousey has written in her book that it's hard to know where the evil character McMahon played on TV for decades ends, and the real person who has been accused of sexual trafficking begins (H/T to Covalent TV for the transcription).

It’s hard sometimes to know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character of Vince McMahon played out for the cameras ends and the actual questionably ethical, many times sued, and multiple times accused of sexual misconduct Vince McMahon begins.

Dana White Gives Verdict On Brock Lesnar And Ronda Rousey UFC 300 Rumors

UFC CEO Dana White reveals UFC 300 plans and comments on Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey returning.

Rousey throws shade at more than just McMahon when it comes to WWE's past treatment of women on the very same page. She details what it was like for female performers throughout the majority of the company's history, long before she ever made the jump from MMA to pro wrestling.

WWE bills itself as a sports entertainment organization, and just like in the mainstream entertainment industry, there was by all accounts a casting couch culture where men backstage in powerful positions pressured female talent for sexual favors in return for airtime.

Ronda Rousey On WWE's Relationship With Saudi Arabia

Rousey Thinks McMahon Is A Fan of How They Treat Women

Going back to the quotes pulled from the book by Covalent TV, when detailing how WWE PPVs work, Rousey returns her aim solely to McMahon when discussing the company's biannual trips to Saudi Arabia. Rousey notes the restriction of women's rights in Saudi Arabia, adding that she's sure McMahon wishes he could do the same back in the US.

Rousey appears to have no qualms calling it as she claims to have seen it in her new book, and it seems likely more stories like this one will emerge from its pages as more get the chance to read it. She has continued to wrestle since her WWE departure, making an appearance for ROH in November.

Rousey Still Has A Major Issue With Bruce Prichard

Vince McMahon isn't the only person that Rousey aims at in her new book. Two other notable WWE executives are put under the gun, one of whom is still employed by WWE. The first of these names is John Lauriniatis, who infamously was ousted by the company in 2022 due to the Vince McMahon hush money scandal. Later in January 2024, Laurinatis' name was brought up again in the public forum as Janel Grant accused him of sexual assault while WWE employed the woman.

10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About The Vince McMahon Lawsuit

Vince McMahon finds himself in legal trouble once again. Here are a few facts and details regarding his latest lawsuit.

While Prichard wasn't named in the lawsuit, Rousey still harbors a lot of ill will towards the man who is often described as Vince McMahon's right-hand man. In an interview with LiveSigning on Youtube, Rousey commented on her MMA rivalries before transitioning into an attack on Prichard and Lauriniatis:

In MMA, I originally just started [beef] for publicity, but those other bitches did not get the memo and so they became personal. In WWE, it’s all fake. I love them. Except Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis, they can go f*ck themselves. That’s real.

Rousey's final WWE match took place at SummerSlam 2023 where she fought her real-life friend Shayna Baszler in a maligned "MMA Rules" match where she lost by passing out to Baszler's rear-naked choke submission hold.
