Ronda Rousey proved why she is the ‘Baddest Woman on the Planet’ with her actions at WWE SummerSlam. The UFC Hall of Famer lost her cool in Nashville after a controversial finish to her championship match against Liv Morgan.
The former SmackDown Women’s Champion unleashed a merciless attack on Liv Morgan. But that wasn’t it! Her frustrations grew so much that she even laid her hands on official! Rousey brutally attacked referee Dan Engler, and even locked in an armbar on him!
While Ronda’s frustrations can be understood, she took it too far with the attack on the referee. Earlier today, WWE publicly announced that Ronda Rousey has been suspended and fined an undisclosed amount.

Fans erupt on Twitter after WWE suspends Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey is a very hot-headed superstar and her actions have forced her to pay fines quite often in WWE. But with her being suspended, fans are split into two.
A few fans questioned WWE’s decision citing how weak the SmackDown women’s roster would become following Ronda Rousey’s suspension.
Just what the struggling smackdown division needed

Smackdown needs more women, especially faces. Can we get a Becky update?

Another fan cited how a fine makes sense, but a suspension doesn’t.
I’m ok with the fine, however for the suspension. https://t.co/B9YZHrppwD pic.twitter.com/2DF3Q4LySu

However, the amount of fans that rejoiced over Ronda Rousey’s WWE suspension clearly outweigh those in support of her. Many even thanked Triple H for making it happen!

The ‘Rowdy‘ one is a no-nonsense superstar. While many fans are happy for Ronda’s suspension, if we look closely, her anger is justified.
Ronda Rousey had Liv Morgan locked in an armbar, but didn’t have her flat on her back. Instead, Rousey used all her strength to cinch in the armbar on Ronda, putting her shoulders on the mat in the process. This lead to the referee counting a pinfall.

The referee did his job well, but ironically, it was too much for him to keep up with as well. After all, just as he went for the count, Liv Morgan tapped out to Ronda’s armbar. But, as well know, the referee didn’t see it leading to Morgan successfully defending the title.
If only Ronda had been a little wiser, she could have earned herself another title match. Sadly, anger got the better of her, and the rest as they is history. Only time will tell when Ronda Rousey returns to WWE, or who knows? She might crash the arenas just like many suspended superstars have in the past!
