Below are a couple of top WWE news stories.
• During an interview on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, Ronda Rousey said she is opening up about her concussion issues now because she doesn’t plan to wrestle in WWE ever again.
Here’s what the UFC Hall of Famer said:
“I had a lifetime of experience hiding the fact that I was concussed all the time, so now I can finally talk about it because I don’t think I’m gonna be wrestling for the WWE ever again.”
Ronda said she had to hide her concussion history, otherwise WWE wouldn’t have allowed her to wrestle:
“I wanted to go to the WWE. They’ve had such a complicated past with concussions and stuff like that. They wouldn’t hire me if they knew at that point. If I let them know how often I was getting concussions, they wouldn’t let me perform in matches.”
