WWE star Ronda Rousey isn't so sure that AEW's fiery post-All Out drama was 100% real.

Rousey was responding to a few fan questions on one of her YouTube live streams when she paused to ponder what was going on over on the All Elite side of things. The WWE regular asked, "Was there a real fight?". She then followed up by adding: "Everything is all hearsay".

Ronda admitted that she hadn't been paying much attention to the situation, but that she's still unconvinced "it's not, you know, a work".

Many folks on social media and within the pro wrestling biz asked the same questions shortly after All Out's dramatic press conference, but CM Punk, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks and several others involved have since been suspended.

Now, AEW boss Tony Khan has commissioned a third party investigation into the situation. Although Punk is also on the bench rehabbing injuries, he's not expected to work another match for the promotion once those heal up.

Rousey wondered aloud whether or not the situation was supposed to escalate the way it did.
