Sasha Banks is one of the more succesful female stars in WWE but she's admitted she was left fuming when Ronda Rousey was brought into the company and given a bigger money deal.
Speaking to Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle on the The Kurt Angle Show in response to being asked if there was real heat between the WWE and MMA Four Horsewomen, The Boss said she definitely had some ill-feelings towards the former MMA champion when she became a WWE Superstar.
"I can only speak for myself; there might be a little tension. I don't know real heat. I was pissed off that Ronda Rousey could come in, get more money than me, bigger locker room than me, and bring all these people backstage and get more time than me. I'm like, 'Excuse me! Who is you, and what you do?' Besides respecting everything that she has done in the UFC and the fight world, when it comes to the squared circle, that's my home. That's why I'm the legit boss, not Ronda Rousey." (h/t Sportskeeda)
Did Sasha Banks And Ronda Rousey Ever Wrestle In WWE?
The two women have only come face-to-face inside a WWE ring once in singles action and that was in 2019 when Sasha Banks took on The Baddest Woman On The Planet for the RAW Women's Title during that year's Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View.
Rousey had just come out of a feud against Nia Jax at Tables Ladders and Chairs when she said she wanted to take on Sasha Banks as a true test of her abilities. Banks had to earn the right to face Rousey though, by defeating a still disgruntled Nia Jax.
The pair put on a display lasting roughly thirteen minutes which ended when Rousey escaped the Bank Statement and performed the Pipers Pit, giving the champ her first pinfall victory in WWE.
