Ronda Rousey Lays Into UFC Champ Kayla Harrison: ‘Shut The F*** Up And Eat Your Groceries’

As for being called a liar, Rousey said: “Who the f*** are you to call me a liar? I was training there for five months, b****, you weren’t even there.”

Rousey pointed to Harrison’s decree after winning the title in June last year that she wouldn’t say anything bad of her. “She said, ‘Oh I’m never gonna say anything bad about Ronda, she took care of me and bought me groceries.’ How about you shut the f*** up and eat your groceries.”

And finally, she took aim at Harrison’s billing of her fight with Nunes. “If she thinks her fight is the biggest women’s fight of all time, why is she getting paid less now than I was 10 years ago? Riddle me this, b****, are you overvalued or are you underpaid?”

Rousey concluded that was really gets to her is what she called small-thinking on the part of Harrison. She said that her fight with Carano isn’t just the biggest women’s MMA fight, but the biggest MMA fight of all time. And it was, as she put it, “Assembled by and will be headlined by two women who dared to dream big.”

Kayla Harrison has since replied rather simply to the tirade, taking to social media to challenge Rousey to fight her. “FIGHT ME DEN,” she wrote via X. 

Rousey faces Carano in the headliner for MVP’s first MMA event on May 16, streaming on Netflix and featuring an undercard of UFC alumni including Francis Ngannou, Junior Dos Santos, Nate Diaz, and Mike Perry.

Street Fighter Movie Character Posters Drop, With WWE’s Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns

Rhodes has spoken about producers keeping the two men apart on the set because they were worried the two would get physical. He also revealed that they have “a crazy relationship”. He believes that fans of “Street Fighter” will be “very pleased with the fan service the movie does.” Rhodes has also spoken about being adamant on doing his own stunts, although he admits that they also had stunt doubles on set to get the necessary shots.

Rhodes and Reigns will be headlining WrestleMania 42, respectively. On Night One, “The American Nightmare” will face longtime rival Randy Orton to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event. Night Two will close with the “OTC” challenging CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Jey Uso Attacks Rapper Cam’ron On Podcast Ahead Of WWE WrestleMania 42

It has been a WrestleMania 42 season where WWE has seemingly turned over every stone, only to have a celebrity pop out from underneath it. Already, fans know Pat McAfee, IShowSpeed, and Lil Yachty will play roles in key WrestleMania matches, while NFL legend Tom Brady is rumored to get involved, and pop superstar Joe Jonas is set to perform the National Anthem on Sunday. And now, rapper Cam’ron may have reason to get involved as well after a hostile confrontation with Jey Uso.

The situation occurred during Uso’s appearance on Cam’ron’s “It Is What It Is” podcast, and was instigated by the rapper after he questioned why he was only getting wrestlers from Night One of WrestleMania 42 instead of Night Two. Uso, fed up with Cam’ron’s complaining, got up from his chair, walked over, pulled Cam’ron over his desk, threw him to the floor, and punched him. Security, and Cam’ron’s co-hosts Trysta Krick and Mace wound up pulling Uso away before his attack could continue.

A clip of the incident was later posted on “It Is What It Is'” official X account, and featured the aftermath where Cam’ron could be seen with an ice pack on his head. The rapper pondered why Mace hadn’t tried to help him, only for Mace to reveal that he was the first one there trying to pull Uso off of Cam’ron, leading to the two sharing a laugh.

The confrontation between Uso and Cam’ron will naturally have many wondering if Cam’ron will look for revenge this Saturday during WrestleMania’s first night. Uso will be in action early on the show, teaming with his brother Jimmy Uso and LA Knight to take on IShowSpeed, and WWE World Tag Team Champions Austin Theory and Logan Paul.

CM Punk Talks Recent WWE Raw Pipe Bomb Promo On Roman Reigns, Pat McAfee, The Rock

In his heated feud with Roman Reigns, CM Punk has taken off the proverbial gloves when it comes to promo work, often getting very personal with his rival and taking some heavy shots at him. During the April 6 episode of “WWE Raw,” Punk sat crossed-legged one more time, cutting what WWE has now called another one of his “pipe bomb” promos, this time levied at Reigns, The Rock, and Pat McAfee.

“Boy, what prompted it? It’s kind of hard being me sometimes,” Punk claimed during an interview on “ALL THE SMOKE.” “Being known as the microphone guy and the pipe bomb guy, I think my ‘good’ is a lot of other people’s ‘great;’ so when I go out there and I’m just ‘good,’ people look at it as less than, but everything can’t be pipe bomb.” Punk then shared his opinion that not every promo can be the greatest each time, but this time around, he felt that everyone from the bottom to the top in WWE have been frustrated. With the promo, he believed he could not just promote his WrestleMania match, but serve as their voice too.

Punk added that cutting a promo on Reigns, who was not even in the building at the time, was difficult because promo work usually includes two people who can “feed off” of one another’s energy and get crowd reactions from both ends. “I’m fortunate that I have done this long enough and I have failed at this long enough that I am better at this than a lot of people,” he claimed. “This is where I thrive; just me, I could fall flat on my face, and that danger kind of just heightens everything and elevates everything.”

Punk is set to take on Reigns in the main event of night two of WWE WrestleMania 42.

Cody Rhodes Talks Naked WWE Locker Room Culture Ahead Of WrestleMania

Cody Rhodes Talks Naked WWE Locker Room Culture Ahead Of WrestleMania

Cody Rhodes has been making the media rounds ahead of his Undisputed WWE Championship clash with Randy Orton in the Night One main event, and one recent interview took a surprisingly unusual turn.

Appearing on the Your Mom’s House podcast, Rhodes was asked about something rarely discussed publicly, the level of nudity inside WWE locker rooms. The question caught him off guard, and his answer reflected how much his current routine has changed compared to earlier in his career.

Rhodes explained that he does not spend much time in the locker room these days, as he travels with his own bus, essentially giving him a private space away from the rest of the roster. Because of that, he admitted he is not entirely sure how things compare to the past.

“This sounds pretentious, but I haven’t been in the locker room in a while because I have a bus. I have my own little locker room. I don’t know if the modern locker room is as naked as the old school locker room,” he said.

The conversation then shifted to stories about his father, Dusty Rhodes, and the environment in locker rooms during that era. Cody painted a vivid picture of how different things used to be, especially when it came to Dusty’s approach while working behind the scenes.

“My dad [Dusty Rhodes], there are all these stories about… because he was also the creative director, the booker of the show, so you’d come to him and ask, ‘What’s the finish? What are we doing?’ He is famous for always being in his cowboy boots and naked while telling them. And everyone has a story, but they were a far more naked bunch. Wrestling is, I don’t know, if comedy is the same, but wrestlers are always working. There’s always a bit of wrestling going on. I think that nakedness, believe it or not, was a disarming tactic, a way of, ‘I’m so confident.’ I don’t know. But I don’t think so because he wasn’t like that around the house.”

Rhodes wrapped up the topic with a lighthearted remark, suggesting that some level of that old school mentality may still exist today.

“the locker room’s gotta be naked.”
