As you know by now, former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has officially arrived in WWE making her debut at the 2018 Royal Rumble PPV. While overall the reaction has been very positive in regards to Rousey’s debut, several stars in the wrestling world have been very critical of Rousey’s debut.
Former ECW/WWE & TNA Impact Wrestling Star Taz discussed Ronda’s Royal Rumble appearance on his podcast.
Taz stated, “It kind of takes the spotlight away from Asuka’s victory. But what did she win? I mean, you’re pointing, Ronda Rousey, I know how tough you are, but what did she earn? She didn’t beat anyone, she didn’t fight anybody here. I don’t get it.”
