Ronda Rousey reveals what The Bloodline were handed but women weren't allowed
Former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey has opened up about opportunities given to The Bloodline and Logan Paul but not to female stars in the promotion.
In an interview with Rick Ucchino of Cageside Seats, The Baddest Woman on the Planet revealed that The Bloodline was allowed to plan things for a year in advance, but nobody would communicate with her until she arrived at the arena.
Rousey noted that United States Champion Logan Paul seems to be allowed time to rehearse as well.
"The Bloodline is able to plan things out a year ahead of time, and they won’t even talk to me until I get to the arena. About anything," Rousey said. "I proved in my first match that if you give me the time, the resources and preparation, I can put together an amazing match. And I feel like they’re really doing that with Logan Paul and allowing him to rehearse and put these things together and have all these different resources, producers to bring him to his highest potential. And it got to the point where the girls [weren’t] gonna get any of that," she said. [H/T: Cageside Seats]
Ronda Rousey lost to Shayna Baszler in an MMA Rules match at SummerSlam 2023 in Detroit. It was Rousey's final bout with the promotion, but she did compete with Marina Shafir in a couple of tag team matches last year. She and Shafir defeated Athena and Billie Starkz in Ring of Honor last November.
