Ronda Rousey speaks highly of Triple H and wishes her last run was fully during his tenure as WWE Chief Content Officer.
In an interview with Rick Ucchino of Cageside Seats, Ronda Rousey discussed the road leading up to her departure from WWE. She looked back on feeling so frustrated that she threatened to leave unless the company let her tag with Shayna Baszler.
“I’m like, ‘Alright, well then I’m f—-ing leaving unless me and Shanya [Baszler] can tag,” Ronda Rousey said. “If you guys don’t want to work with me, you don’t wanna do something extraordinary. You just wanna do good enough every single night. I came here to have fun with my friends.”
The situation did not improve, as Riusey remained frustration, and she explained that she had a sit-down with Triple H prior to her departure.
“I had a long sit down with Triple H and I was like, ‘I can’t be associated with mediocrity,'” Rousey said. “And that’s what they seemed to be happy with at the time. And I hope that is different now, but I can’t say… that I’ve ever experienced it any other way.”
Ronda Rousey On Changes In WWE
Ronda Rousey has been quite critical of Vince McMahon in recent weeks, both in interviews and in excerpts from her book, Our Fight. During this interview, the changes that have been apparent under Triple H’s watch came up. Rousey noted that she wished she could have had her last run with him in charge.
“I’m so glad that it’s getting turned around,” Rousey said. “Triple H has been great towards the women in the company and really believing in us. He’s the whole reason that I was there, ‘cause he believed in me. I really wish that my last run was under Triple H running things and Vince being gone.”
