Ronda Rousey is speaking out about her time with the WWE.
The 33-year-old wrestler revealed that “ungrateful fans” contributed to her leaving the company less than a year after she signed with company.
During an episode of Wild Ride! w/ Steve-O, Ronda shared that “what am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f—ing ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me?”
Ronda explained that when she did return home, it was only for 100 days at a time, which wasn’t much time with her family at all.
“I wasn’t even home when I was home,” she said. “I was basically just trying to recover enough to be able to get to the next stint of being gone.”
Ronda continued, saying that “if I looked at all the live shows, I was only home a day-and-a-half a week. It was just not worth it for my family.”
She added that the fans were a big reason why she left.
“I love performing. I love the girls. I love being out there,” she shared. “But, at the end of the day, I was just like, ‘F— these fans, dude.’ ”
“My family loves me and they appreciate me and I want all my energy to go into them,” Ronda added. “So that was my decision at the end of the day. It’s like, ‘Hey girls, love what you’re doing. I’m gonna try and take all my momentum and push you guys as far as I can. Fly little birds, fly! I’m going f—ing home!’ And that was basically it.”
