#5 Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey, after a year of her debut, achieved more than what many WWE Superstars would only dream of. She is a former RAW Women’s Champion, was undefeated in the majority of her run and also main evented WrestleMania 35.
During her rivalry with Becky Lynch and Charlotte, there was point when the Rowdy One became uncontrollable. She didn’t seem to listen to anyone and it cost her a lot more than just money.
After facing Dana Brooke on an episode of Raw, Rousey attacked a referee, which coerced WWE to fine her. A few hours after this incident, WWE released a statement,
“Ronda Rousey has been fined by WWE as a result of her unprofessional actions."
"Due to the confidentiality of Rousey’s contract, the amount of the fine will not be disclosed. Appropriate action has been taken.”
Since losing her title to Lynch at ‘Mania, we haven’t seen the former UFC fighter in the WWE ring but it wouldn’t surprise us if she returns soon, considering the fact that Rousey signed a three-year contract with the company.
