During a recent interview with Express, Women's Tag Team Champion Alexa Bliss shared her thoughts on Ronda Rousey's comments last month that WWE is "fake fighting." That resulted in a lot of backlash at the time, and Bliss confirms that the Baddest Woman on the Planet's comments were definitely received negatively by WWE's female Superstars, especially after they welcomed her following Rousey's debut.
"To kind of say what we do is fake is not fair. It’s scripted, 100 percent finish is scripted, but we tell people that," Bliss explains. "But don’t say what we do is fake because that’s just insulting."
She went on to say that everyone has moved on from Rousey's comments at this point, as there are more important things to think about (likely a reference to COVID-19). Ultimately, not everyone gets on in WWE, Bliss explains, but they understand they have to travel together 300 days a year, so it is what it is.
"But you hash it out and you get over it and you work together and now we all get along great and we are all one big family," she says. "I think she may have some apologizing to do because it was disrespectful and our company is built on respect. But I don’t see why she wouldn’t be welcome with open arms."
