Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Ronda Rousey and Rhea Ripley.
• At SummerSlam 2023, Shayna Baszler defeated Ronda Rousey in an MMA Rules Match. Rousey left WWE after this match.
During an interview with Fightful, Shayna revealed that they wanted a Steel Cage or a Fight Pit for this match, but it wasn’t possible at Ford Field.
Here’s what Baszler said:
“I won’t lie, the idea we had, we were a little bit handcuffed just based on the venue. There was no tron, so we knew the people in-house were going to have trouble maybe understanding some of the stuff because you need a camera and a close up of that.
We couldn’t get a Cage or a Fight Pit in there because of the rigging in a dome situation is totally different. There was a lot. We tried to work out some other things, it just didn’t work out. We did the best we could with what we had. I’m proud of it.”
