“I Don’t Know if I Should Apologize Or…” – Former UFC Star Ronda Rousey Once Admitted ‘Leaked’ Live Stream Was a ‘Fake’ Ploy to Trick Fans

A great mother, an athlete, a fighter, an actress, and a gamer, Ronda Rousey is a person of many talents. These talents of hers can’t be overlooked and thus, she is always in the spotlight. This became more accurate when she came back to the ring after two years of break and shook the WWE universe.

Many may not know, but she is a professional streamer as well. A few months back, she fake-streamed on Facebook while making a comeback to the wrestling world.

Ronda Rousey on her fake streaming to trick fans

After the Women’s Royal Rumble, she streamed and confessed to her fans regarding the trick. She said, “I don’t know if I should apologize or just put the record straight that we did our first-ever non-live stream. So we did a little bit of kayfabe stream for you guys so I could sneak out for Royal Rumble. Cause it got leaked that I was going to be there. And, what’s it called? We recorded a VR stream and played it as if it was live.”

Although she knew that her fans can’t be easily tricked like this, thus she mentioned that in her stream as well, by saying “But the real diehards knew it was recorded because I usually go live on Instagram to announce my streams, but I just posted it. I didn’t go live to say that and there were a lot of people like (looks surprised). So, the perceptive ones knew I was staging it. But I’m glad it got the reaction that it did.”

Ronda and her love for streaming

The former Raw Women’s Champion is a YouTube streamer as well. During her pregnancy, she used to play a lot of different video games on Nintendo and her PC, then uploaded them on YouTube. She not just uploaded her gameplay on YouTube, but even streamed them on Twitch as well.

Not only that, in February 2020, she made a tweet announcing her official debut on FacebookGaming. This was a huge step for her as this made her a professional gamer as well. After this, she gained a huge fan following from the video game community.

Notably, Rousey used her streaming career as a ploy during the recent Women’s Royal Rumble that took place on January 29, 2022. What do you think about these tactics of hers? Let us know in the comments below.
