Ronda Rousey says she doesn’t need WWE

Ronda Rousey has been making the news left and right, as of late. They say even bad press is good, but in Rousey’s case, it may not be.

Yesterday, we reported that Rousey is legitimately upset over the heated Twitter exchange between her and Becky Lynch.

This past week on Raw, Rousey laid down the WWE Raw Women’s Championship by Stephanie McMahon’s feet, and walked off. She had demanded Lynch be added to her WrestleMania match with Charlotte, and was not happy with Stephanie’s “hard no” in response.

In an episode of “Ronda on the Road” filmed after the Raw held in Atlanta, she had some harsh words to say about her career at WWE. The quote below was transcribed by Fightul.

“Thing is, I love this job. I really love this job. I don’t need it at all. Not in the least, little bit. So, the second I’m not happy, I reserve the right to walk out the door and live happily ever after with the love of my life, and The Authority, so they are called in this company, are use to just bullying everyone around, and like I said, they give them just enough for them to live a lavish lifestyle but still have to come back… and I don’t.”

Fans have really started to turn their backs on Rousey, in the last couple of months. Add the exchange with Lynch on social media, and one could read her statement as evidence that the former UFC fighter may be getting a bit overwhelmed.

Rusev and Lana launch new YouTube channel

Rusev and Lana launched a new YouTube channel yesterday. The channel was initially created in 2012 as a place to showcase Lana’s acting reels, but the couple re-branded the channel following the news they would be taken off Total Divas.

The two plan to release “a lot of different series” on the page, including a vlog. Interestingly, the channel is under their real names, C.J. & Miro Barnyashev, which will surely play into rumors surrounding their status with WWE.

This also comes in the aftermath of their frustrations with their portrayal on and recent departure from Total Divas. On a recent episode of Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast, Lana spoke candidly about resentment towards the creative process, which she believes caused a disconnect with fans of the show.

“In edit, they can do whatever they want and that’s out of your control,” Lana said. “If they want to make me look annoying, if I need to play that annoying girl, they’ll do that. But, you know, I understand that that’s what I signed up for and I also understand that when you sign up for reality TV, you have to be ready to not be perfect. That’s fine, but don’t screw me over when you go, ‘oh, all of a sudden, you’re not liked,’ and it’s because your editors are doing that.”

Wrestlers have used YouTube before to create some buzz, so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. Could this help them or possibly hinder them? Drop a comment below.
