The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions have continued to target each other in recent weeks on Monday Night RAW. The Queen of Spades and Rousey have also engaged in some hard-hitting brawls.Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Baszler, who has started to get massive support from the fans, called Rousey’s on-screen persona fake.

“One thing I’ve always said about wrestling fans, sports fans in general, is they can smell when you’re faking the funk.” Baszler added: “You just cheer for who you like, and it just happens to be me because the stuff I’m saying is real, and the stuff I’m saying is the stuff fans have been saying ever since Ronda got signed.” (H/T Wrestling Inc)
