It looks like Rousey came up with the segment mocking her.
Natalya and Ronda Rousey have had a vicious rivalry so far. While the feud has been personal, it has lacked an extra something to draw in the viewer. On Friday’s edition of SmackDown, Natalya would dress up as Ronda Rousey and walk a stroller to the ring, mocking Rousey in the process. Eventually, Rousey would come out and confront Natalya.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that the segment was likely pitched by Ronda Rousey in the first place.
“It’s not what the writers would come up with. As soon as I saw it I knew, ‘Okay, this is not from this writing team, this is not from Bruce Prichard’. I kinda was like, ‘What is this?’, and I was thinking it could be a number of different people. It’s Ronda. Ronda wants to do something out of the box, and she’s doing something out of the box.
