Vince McMahon Comments On Ronda Rousey’s Rookie Year In WWE

Out of all the female competitors that have ever worked for WWE, former Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey has arguably had the best rookie year in the company’s history.

She started her in-ring career with an incredible WrestleMania debut and after achieving victory in several high profile matches throughout the year, the former UFC Star ended her rookie year by main eventing the Show Of Shows.

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon talked about Ronda’s performance during the 2019 quarter one earnings call and he offered some high praise to the former Champion.

The Boss said that Ronda has done an extraordinary job for them. Vince claimed that her challenge was to bring the entire women’s division up and implied that she achieved this goal with the first ever Women’s WrestleMania main event.

Continuing on the topic, he said that Rousey’s stint has resulted in increased visibility for the Women’s Division and explained that now you have stories that are still the focal point even when the former UFC Star is not around.

Later in the interview, Mr. McMahon also talked about the company suffering a loss in the first quarter of 2019 and cited the absence of talents as the reason for it.

As we noted before, Ronda Rousey has taken a leave from WWE after WrestleMania and there is no news on when or if she will return to the company in future.
