Update On Ronda Rousey's Controversial Comments

In an update on Ronda Rousey's recent comments about WWE fans being "ungrateful" and wrestling being "fake", Dave Meltzer reports that Rousey's comments are legitimate and stem from back at Survivor Series 2018 when she was booed in her hometown of Los Angeles.

Here is what Meltzer said:

"It’s not a work. I knew when the Los Angeles fans booed Ronda Rousey and when that Charlotte Flair angle happened. Where Charlotte Flair turned heel on her and they all cheered for Charlotte Flair and they were chanting ‘you deserve it’ when Charlotte beat the hell out of her and she took that beating to get the angle over so the fans would have something believable and the fans changed ‘you deserve it at her.’ I knew that at that point everything changed.”

"You’ve got to remember that her and Shayna, their mentality [when they signed with WWE] was the UFC fans are the worst and the WWE fans are the best and it went good and Ronda comes in and everybody cheered her and she was so popular. It was all going along well until that angle … I knew that was going to strike a chord with her and it did and they turned her heel, which was not the plan. But they went with it and yeah, that ‘s her feelings and that’s just how she is wired. She’s very competitive."
