• During an interview with Cageside Seats, UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey had the following to say about working for Vince McMahon:
“I just didn’t wanna be Vince’s action f**king figure anymore. I felt like I was doing custom matches for a f**king sicko in the back. All power to the girls that keep fighting the good fight. But I’m in my mid-30’s now. I’ve got sh*t to do.”
After Vince resigned from all his positions from TKO in January 2024 (after already announcing his retirement in 2022), Ronda posted a tweet claiming that Vince wasn’t really gone the first time and was calling running the show through Bruce Prichard.
Rousey said the following about Vince resignation:
“My agent who works at WME (Endeavor), he was telling me, ‘You know, he’s completely gone now, I swear’. And I’m like, I’ll believe it when I see it, because everyone said he left before. He never left. He was there by text message.”
