Mercedes Mone is asked about Ronda Rousey's experiences in WWE.
In her book "Our Fight," Ronda Rousey chronicled her time in WWE, and didn't always speak highly of her experience, noting that plans often changed and that there was a "casting couch culture."
Appearing on Maggie & Perloff, Mercedes Mone was asked about Ronda's comments.
"That's her experience. Get the book if you want to read that. I had a great experience there. I even had a great experience wrestling Ronda. She said she had a great time and great matches out there," she said.
When Mercedes was informed of Ronda's comments, she replied, "It's news to me because of what I brought to the table for WWE and women's wrestling. What I fought for. Me and Ronda are completely different when it comes to our views for women's wrestling. I am the standard, the blueprint, for a reason. I love and respect this game so much. I'm ready to fight and do everything I can for women's wrestling. I know Ronda coming in did help a lot because of how big of a name she was in UFC and really fighting for women in that culture. I would only hope she would come to WWE to improve it and not talk bad about it."
Rousey and Mone (Sasha Banks in WWE) battled each other at WWE Royal Rumble 2019. Rousey was victorious in the bout.
