Ronda Rousey On Women's Landscape In WWE: "It's Like The Entire Division Just Got Stripped Clean"


"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is once again a title-holder in WWE.

After capturing the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships with Shayna Baszler at WWE Monday Night Raw this week in Albany, New York, Rousey spoke with The New York Post for an interview.

During the discussion, "Rowdy" Ronda spoke about the changes to the women's scene in WWE since she first joined the company.

Featured below are some of the highlights.

On the title win and how there is little competition for her and Baszler: "Well, the lack of competition is really the problem. I mean, we want to be the most active champions out there. I want to be able to defend this title every week and even twice a week on both ‘SmackDown’ and ‘Raw’. But with how dismally shallow the women’s division is right now, there’s not enough women around here to keep us busy for a month. And so that’s the biggest challenge that we have is to get this company to actually care and invest into this tag division."

On the change in the women's landscape in WWE since her initial run with the company: "It was like the entire women’s division just got stripped clean. And now we’re the women that are the women that are left trying to piece together, you know, stories and a division, a tag division with around 10 women or even less on each roster. I mean, we’re trying the best that we can to make chicken s–t into chicken salad, and we made some amazing chicken salad (Monday night)."
