10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Ronda Rousey
7. The Issues With Her Ex
Ronda's autobiography (My Fight, Your Fight) makes for fascinating reading. One of the more provocative passages is when she details her relationship with a boyfriend she ended up nicknaming "Snappers McCreepy". Rousey dated this dude for a while before fighting Miesha Tate at UFC 168 in 2013.
It ended pretty violently.
Two weeks before the fight, Ronda found out that "McCreepy" had been taking sly nude photos of her without consent. So, she did what any bad-ass MMA fighting girlfriend could be expected to do: she slapped him so hard she hurt her own hand and ended the relationship. Then, Rousey decided to do a nude photoshoot with ESPN to make herself feel better.
This isn't something WWE would want casual wrestling fans to know about. Nudity, a touch of domestic abuse and creepy guys taking suggestive pics without permission are hardly things that fit into the promotion's PG profile.
