In an interview on the ESPN show Golic and Wingo, Rousey was asked if she had something to prove as a newbie in WWE. 

"I definitely have a lot to prove. This business is so important to so many people and they have every reason to be suspicious of me just coming in for a cash grab or some attention or whatever which is not the case. But it will only take time, being consistent, and showing people that I am putting in the hard work everyday for them to entrust me with something they care so much about," said Rousey. 

In the rest of the interview, Rousey compared working with WWE to mixed-martial-arts and filming movies. She was also asked about ever going back to UFC and the possibility of Floyd Mayweather trying a fight with UFC.
