Ronda Rousey Suspended From WWE

WWE has suspended wrestler Ronda Rousey endlessly after she attacked an official at WWE SummerSlam.

According to the WWE, at the SummerSlam event in Nashville, Rousey lost the women's title match to Liv Morgan and appeared to take problem with referee Dan Engler's apparent failure to notice Morgan, tapping out in the immediate aftermath of the match.

Rousey grabbed the referred by the arm and flipped him over her shoulder and onto the ring floor, where she pointed him down until another officer arrived to break the grapple up.

Rousey will be fined, and a WWE broadcaster speculated immediately as the incident played out in front of the crowd at Nissan Stadium.

The WWE released an original statement noting that Rousey has been fined an undisclosed amount and will be suspended.

An irate Rousey attacked after her SmackDown Women's Title Match, claiming he missed Liv Morgan tapping out to the Armbar while he counted the pinfall, the company wrote in their statement.

As a result of Rousey's suspension, the WWE said in its statement that she would not appear on Friday Night SmackDown this coming week.

Rousey posted a series of images from her match for Morgan to Instagram and called out the WWE within the post's caption.

Hey @wwe, if you could stop screwing me to put over your golden girls at every major PPV, that'd be great, Rousey wrote.

In response to Rousey's decision, she retweeted a Twitter post from WWE television host Greg Miller in the sudden aftermath of SummerSlam, in which Miller accused Morgan of winning the championship by taking advantage of the situation and retaining it by being a cheating coward.

This is not the first time the WWE suspended Rousey for attacking an official. @RondaRousey deserves authority. #SummerSlam @wwe, Miller wrote in the post.

In June 2018, the company suspended Rousey from Night RAW for 30 days in a storyline in which she attacked Raw general manager, wrestler Alexa Bliss, and retired wrestler Kurt Angle as well as multiple referees at the time.

Rousey competed in judo at the 2008 Summer Olympics and worked as an experienced mixed martial arts fighter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the 2010s; they welcomed daughter La'akea Makalapuaokalanipō with husband Travis Browne in September 2021.

Rousey and Browne, also an MMA fighter, got married in Browne's native Hawaii in August 2017.
