Ronda Rousey admits that her recent appearance at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view was a shot at TKO.
In a YouTube video documenting her appearance at the March 15 pay-per-view at the Crypto.com Arena, Rousey explained that she showed up to support her friend Marina Shafir and promote her upcoming fight with Gina Carano.
She referred to AEW as a “less restrictive, more adult version of WWE…and it’s kind of a cool, like, bit of a ‘Fuck you’ to TKO Group, which is kind of funny because WWE is on Netflix, but I figured it would be easier to beg for forgiveness instead of permission on this one. Like, I’m promoting your show, it’s fine, and we didn’t advertise it, so it’s not like we boosted the ratings of it. So, it should be fine.”
Rousey appeared after Shafir’s loss to Timeless Toni Storm and had a faceoff with Storm, with security keeping the two apart.
Rousey will have her first MMA fight in nearly a decade when she competes on May 16 against Carano at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
