Since turning her back on Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank 2023, Shayna Baszler has been on a verbal and physical warpath against her former teammate. The 42-year-old recently took a shot at Rousey ahead of their imminent showdown at SummerSlam.
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)

While Ronda Rousey has her fair share of critics, the UFC Hall of Famer has captured many world titles in WWE.
