Ronda Rousey Says Final WWE Match Was a Middle Finger to Fans

Ronda Rousey revealed that her final WWE match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023 was intentionally designed as "a middle finger to all the fans" and was created more for herself and Baszler than for the WWE audience. Rousey explained that the match served as their "wrestling love letter to MMA," recreating moments from real fights that wrestling fans wouldn't recognize, and she wanted to leave WWE as a true heel by putting on a fight that fans might not understand or appreciate.

Judge Rules WWE Ring Boys Can Stay Anonymous In Lawsuit Against Vince McMahon

Federal Judge James K. Bredar ruled that the men suing Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, WWE, and TKO over alleged sexual abuse as teenage "ring boys" in the 1980s and early 1990s can continue using "John Doe" pseudonyms during the pretrial phase. The lawsuit alleges that former WWF ring announcer Mel Phillips and former WWF executive Pat Patterson sexually abused teenage ring boys, and claims the defendants were negligent for not protecting the boys from harm. The judge cited the sensitive nature of childhood sexual abuse allegations as the primary reason for protecting the plaintiffs' identities, while also rejecting Vince McMahon's request to prevent public discussion of the case.

Reason WWE Is Bringing Back More House Shows Revealed

WWE announced it will run 10 new non-televised house shows across the United States during July and August as part of its Summer 2026 Tour, marking a return to more live events after years of scaling back following the pandemic.

Major names advertised for the tour include Cody Rhodes, Oba Femi, Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, Jade Cargill, Trick Williams, and Drew McIntyre, with ticket prices expected to be cheaper than televised events.
