Since leaving mixed martial arts (MMA), Ronda Rousey has become one of WWE’s biggest stars. The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion now reigns as the Monday Night RAW Women’s Champion in professional wrestling. At this moment, she’s feuding with “The Irish Lass Kicker” Becky Lynch as WrestleMania approaches.
On social media, the rivalry has been heated between Rousey and Lynch. Lynch made things personal when she mentioned Rousey’s husband, UFC heavyweight Travis Browne. Rousey broke character by calling Lynch her real name, Rebecca Quin. She threatened to go off “script” and “beat the living sh*t” out of her the next time she saw her. For those of you who haven’t seen the exchange, check it out here:
Ronda, you go back and get that BELT because I didn’t come this far to collect it from Stephaine. I came all this way to take it from you. pic.twitter.com/ap3Q6cBRP2

That’s what I’m trying to do dumbass. You hobbling around trying to be a ginger crutch ninja and taking fake prison photos in the hallway isn’t helping

Keep that F word out of your mouth and concentrate on getting better at this business instead of trying to remain above it. Looking forward to seeing you real soon. pic.twitter.com/i52k4sFh2X

F word? You mean “fake”? Fake like your non sensical BS “armbar” that doesn’t even work and just looks like you’re holding the dick you wish you had? pic.twitter.com/dr6OklYces

Rebecca Quin, I don’t care what the script says, I’m beating the living shit out of you the next time I see you.

Recently, Rousey’s longtime MMA rival, Miesha Tate, spoke to SiriusXM radio on the matter. Tate said she believes the beef between the two WWE stars is legitimate, and Rousey is actually angry with Lynch’s comments (via MMA Junkie):
“It got under her skin. I know about this,” Tate said. “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 (expletive) got real. … No, Ronda’s pissed. Ronda’s not joking.
“She’s not 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.”
"I know for a fact that burnt Ronda's cookies … s–t got real!" — @MieshaTate to @RyanMcKinnell on the war of words on social media and on WWE TV between Ronda Rousey and #TheMan @BeckyLynchWWE @BustedOpenRadio pic.twitter.com/garlXonkgz
