Folks, gather ’round because I’ve got a story that’s more tangled than my dog Champ’s leash. You see, Ronda Rousey, a former WWE champ and an all-around tough cookie, decided to put pen to paper with her book, “Our Fight: A Memoir.” She’s spilling the tea on her WWE days, and it’s hotter than a July afternoon in Delaware.
So, there she was on NewsNation’s “Banfield,” talking about this one time, no malarkey, when Drew Gulak, a fella from NXT, got a bit too familiar with her sweatpants. Yes, you heard right. The man grabbed the string of her sweatpants while she was just standing around, waiting to chat with Triple H. It’s like walking into a room and forgetting why you went there in the first place – just makes no sense.
Now, Rousey, being the straight-shooter she is, was left wondering, “What in the Sam Hill was that all about?” Imagine if her husband was standing there; I bet Gulak wouldn’t have been so bold. It’s about respect, folks – something we hold dear, like apple pie or a smooth Delaware peach.
The thing that got Rousey’s goat wasn’t just the sweatpants tussle; it was the whole shebang. It happened right in front of WWE officials, and nobody batted an eye. Makes you think, what kind of shenanigans are going on when the cameras are off? It’s like leaving the screen door open in the summer; you’re just inviting trouble.
Being the fighter she is, Rousey didn’t let it slide. She confronted Gulak, told him straight up, “Buddy, if I catch wind of you pulling a stunt like this again, we’re gonna have words.” And, bless his heart, Gulak backpedaled faster than a crab at a clambake.
Rousey’s time in WWE, from her big entrance in 2018 to her exit stage left in 2023, was nothing short of a rollercoaster – ups, downs, and a few loop-de-loops. But deciding to step back, focus on a few indie shows, and even pop up on Ring of Honor? Well, it just goes to show, sometimes you gotta take the scenic route.
In her memoir, Rousey’s not just talking about dropkicks and arm bars; she’s shining a light on the need for a bit more dignity, a little more respect, and a whole lot of looking out for each other. It’s about making sure everyone, no matter if they’re in the ring or behind a desk, feels safe and valued. And that’s no malarkey.
