Ronda Rousey discussed her final WWE match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam 2023 in an excerpt from her new book Our Fight.
“In that moment, in the ring, every single thing made sense, every motion anticipated and capitalized on, not because it was scripted but because it wasn’t. Shayna and I flowed from one spot to the next because we knew how to fight, how to make it real, how to make it make sense. For the very last time, I loved every second of it.
Somewhere in the crowd, I heard the rumblings of ‘This is boring.’ But the fans weren’t able to sync up from around the stadium and the chant died. I didn’t even care. I expected the fans weren’t going to understand. They weren’t going to appreciate it. If anything, making them sit through it was my last ‘f*ck you’ to them and the company. But it was the match that we wanted it to be. It was a match that I was proud of. That’s all that mattered.”
