Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate has sounded off on the feud between WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.
This is a feud that dates all the way back to Survivor Series in November where they were originally slated to share the squared circle for a match. However, that got nixed once Lynch suffered a broken nose and concussion.
WWE originally announced that Lynch would meet Rousey for the strap at WrestleMania 35 but those plans got changed. Now, Lynch will face Charlotte Flair at Sunday’s Fastlane pay-per-view event.
If Lynch wins then she’ll be added and will face Rousey and Flair in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE RAW Women’s Title at WrestleMania 35.
Tate and Rousey have a history as they fought each other twice in MMA. Their first battle went down in Strikeforce in 2012 when Rousey submitted Tate to take her Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Championship. Their second fight took place a year later at UFC 168, which saw Rousey win again by armbar
Tate gave her take on the situation during Wednesday’s episode of MMA Tonight on SiriusXM.
“It got under her skin. I know about this. You don’t talk about her family, you don’t talk about this, even if it’s just a joke. She does not have a sense of humor, and therefore s**t got real. No, Ronda’s pissed, not joking and playing games.
She’s not used to having to play by rules. She never had to before. Why is she going to now? She’s already broken the rule with the F-word, saying some things are ‘fake.’ She’s not a company woman. She never has been.”
