With the former UFC Bantamweight Champion being one of the biggest names in all of sport by the time she rocked up in Vince McMahon's promotion, The Baddest Woman on the Planet understandably demanded a rather high fee to perform in a WWE ring. However, despite the eyes her presence would bring to the product, some of the stars who had devoted their life to the craft weren't best pleased with Ronda Rousey's eye-watering earnings and treatment backstage.

Sasha Banks has recently gone on record to confess, "I was p*ssed off that Ronda Rousey could come in, get more money than me, get a (better) locker room than me, and bring all these people backstage and get more time than me."

Looking back on the pair's clash at Royal Rumble 2019, this information adds a new layer of tension and detail to Banks' performance, with The Boss' supposedly kayfabe aggression towards Rousey stemming from some genuine resentment towards her treatment backstage.

It is important to note that Banks is open to working with Ronda again in the future, but the former SmackDown Women's Champion isn't afraid to admit she wasn't completely happy with the way Rousey arrived on the scene.
