Not only did Rousey crash the Clash at the Castle contract signing between Liv Morgan and Shayna Baszler, but she also made the WWE look cheap in a stunt that no one could have predicted. Jumping into the ring with a large duffel bag full of money, Rousey took shot after shot at the multi-billion dollar industry, saying “I was also fined a lot of money, so I doubled it,” before dropping stacks of cash on the signing table.

Is this Ronda Rousey’s heel turn?

Rousey made it clear that the WWE has not seen the last of her; in her latest Instagram post, she called out the company in the caption. Referring to the fine she had to pay, Rousey said, “Use that cash wisely @wwe – Maybe it can help with those “budget cuts”. Bring back some as*es for me to kick.”

Rousey seems to be back with a vengeance, as she claimed that it “wasn’t going to be the last time” that she gets suspended. The wrestling icon has fully embraced her persona as the ‘Baddest Woman on the Planet’, leaving fans wondering if this marks her heel turn. As Rousey said herself, “Being the baddest gets expensive, but I can afford it.”

Why was Ronda Rousey suspended?

Rousey was fined and suspended for her actions at SummerSlam where she attacked referee Dan Engler and pinned him to the floor during her bout with Morgan, the defending SmackDown Women’s Champion. Rousey had Morgan locked in submission when the referee started the three-count for pinfall. Although Morgan tapped out before the count ended, the match did not end as the pin had technically failed. This irked Rousey who attacked the WWE official.

Fans speculate that Rousey’s return and heel turn and the event that followed – Liv Morgan and Shayna Baszler signed the contract for their title match at the ‘Clash at the Castle’ event on September 3 – are connected. After all, it was Morgan who cost Rousey her title. Fans can’t imagine that Rousey’s revenge will end with the WWE without going after Morgan as well.
