Why Alexa Bliss Took Offence To Ronda Rousey's Recent Outbursts
'The Goddess of WWE' has a lot to say about Rousey...
Don't use the word "fake" when discussing professional wrestling around Alexa Bliss.
This is the big takeaway from her interview with Steven Muehlhausen of Sporting News, with the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champion claiming she was upset by Ronda Rousey's recent comments on the sport and its fans.
Though Bliss noted that she respects, likes, and gets along with Rousey, she said she "doesn't like when people use the F-word, when people say 'fake,' because what we do is not fake. Ronda has accomplished a lot in MMA. She came into our business and everyone was more than accommodating, more than wanting to see her succeed. The fact that she called it fake could be her opinion on it, but it's offensive to everyone that has had injuries."
Alexa went on, describing her own battles with concussions, saying that while everyone wanted Ronda to succeed in WWE, her calling wrestling fake is personally offensive.
'The Goddess' said she would "probably" welcome Rousey back to the company should she return, so long as she doesn't disrespect the business.
It's hard to imagine many wrestling fans disagreeing with Bliss here, though it's still unclear whether or Ronda was shooting or working with her recent outbursts.
