RONDA ROUSEY slammed former boss Vince McMahon and says it’s “hard to know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character on-screen character ends”.
The UFC legend switched to wrestling in 2018 and was three-time WWE champion before leaving the company in October.

Her last match in WWE was a defeat to best friend Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam in August.
Since then, she was spotted backstage at AEW Collision and AEW Rampage before making a shock return to the ring in November.
Meanwhile, her old billionaire WWE chief McMahon has dominated the headlines as he was accused of sexual assault, trafficking and physical abuse by a former WWE employee identified as Janel Grant.
Grant has filed a lawsuit against the 78-year-old in which she accuses him of sexually exploiting her during her time with the company.
McMahon has continued to vehemently denied the allegations, but announced he was stepping down from his role at WWE and UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings in January.
McMahon, who enjoyed huge success as a villainous character on TV during the Attitude Era days, has also been caught up in several other scandals over the years.
He left his role as WWE CEO in 2022 when an investigation found he paid nearly $15 million in total to four women over a period of 16 years, so they kept quiet over allegations of sexual misconduct.
Now Rousey has taken aim at McMahon in her new memoir, ‘Our Fight’, in a no holds barred attack.
She wrote: “It’s hard sometimes to know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character of Vince McMahon played out for the camera ends and the actual questionably ethical, many times sued, and multiple times accused of sexual misconduct Vince McMahon begins.
“That blurred line between character and reality is a recurring theme within the WWE Universe.
“[Pay-per-views are] held in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, as well as twice a year now in Saudi Arabia. A nation that restricts the rights of women in a way that I’m certain Vince McMahon wishes he could.”
McMahon is being investigated by federal authorities over the bombshell accusations from Grant.
A spokesperson for McMahon said the lawsuit is “replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth,” per NBC.
“I intend to vigorously defend myself,” McMahon added.
The suit claims McMahon began sending Grant sexually explicit messages and making sexual demands after creating a position for her in the company’s legal department.
Grant also alleged that in March 2022, McMahon tried to traffic her to a top WWE superstar.
McMahon texted her, “Part of the deal was f**king U,” the suit claims.
The WWE superstar in question was not named in the lawsuit.
McMahon has recently been selling his stock in TKO Group Holdings and reportedly filed to offload over $400m, which the Securities and Exchange Commission said was for 5.35 million shares.
That was after he did similar last year when he sold $700m worth of stock.
