"I don't know what the f**k's going on with these people" - Wrestling veteran addresses rumors of Ronda Rousey leaving WWE after SummerSlam
Former WWE manager Jim Cornette recently spoke about the SummerSlam encounter between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler.
Rousey and Baszler split up at Money in the Bank when the Queen of Spades blindsided her former partner. In the following weeks, the two women confronted each other and even threw down in the ring till WWE made it official that they would settle their differences at SummerSlam.
On a recent episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran mentioned that The Rowdy One was probably on her way out and so Shayna could be winning the matchup. However, Cornette was confused with the storyline and wasn't sure who the babyface or heel was in this angle.
"So we know what's happening here because Ronda's managed to let everybody in the world know that she wants to get the f**k outta there. She's given them a date she's finishing up and by God, she's done." Jim continued, "I'm still trying to figure out who's the babyface and who's the heel because Shayna just jumped Ronda from behind out of nowhere and beat the total sh*t out of her like a heel would. I don't know what the f**k's going on with these people. But we know Shayna is gonna win because Ronda is leaving, right?" [From 1:33 - 2:28]
