"She's not very good at this" - Former WWE manager criticizes Ronda Rousey for her promo skills (Exclusive)
Dutch Mantell recently spoke about WWE possibly covering up Ronda Rousey's alleged shortcomings on the mic.
During the latest SmackDown episode, Charlotte Flair tried her best to humiliate The Rowdy One in a contract signing. The Queen got in a few shots with a kendo stick on Rousey, but The Baddest Woman on the Planet grabbed the object and retaliated. Drew Gulak interfered to stop the chaos. However, Ronda put him in an armbar and signed the contract as he screamed "I Quit."
Dutch Mantell was on this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk with Rick Ucchino and Sid Pullar III. As Charlotte did more of the talking in SmackDown's opening segment than her rival, the wrestling veteran suggested that WWE was trying to protect Rousey.
Here's what Mantell had to say about the aforementioned segment:
"They did that for a reason. They did that to cover for Ronda. She's not very good at this. So [to] Charlotte, they said, 'See if you can cover up,' and all she [Rousey] had to do was react to it." (From 37:29 - 37:42)
