Ronda Rousey sends 'f*** you' message to TKO after AEW appearance

Ronda Rousey 's surprise appearance at AEW's Revolution pay-per-view has been confirmed as another shot at TKO . TKO Group Holdings, formed by parent company Endeavor, is a premier sports and entertainment company responsible for the merger between the UFC and WWE . The affiliation between the two companies has been a success.

Both the UFC and WWE have seen revenue growth and financial benefits, though aside from the occasional crossover , fans have yet to see a significant benefit from the deal. Believing the merger has birthed more greed within the organizations, Ronda Rousey decided to speak out as a voice for her fellow athletes. After the announcement of her blockbuster clash against Gina Carano as the headlining act in Netflix 's inaugural MMA event , Rousey lashed out at TKO for not seeing the value in entertaining her return to the octagon and highlighted fighter pay as a glaring negative within the UFC.

Since her verbal attack, neither the UFC, TKO, nor WWE has publicly issued a response. In a separate attempt to get a reaction from the moguls within each company, Rousey sent them a ' f*** you ' message after her feature at AEW Revolution. "I've never been to an AEW pay-per-view, so I don't really know what to expect so much.

But I'm thinking like a less restrictive, more adult version of WWE, which sounds like a good time," Rousey said during the behind-the-scenes look into her AEW debut. "Those are all very good descriptions, I feel. " Founded in 2019, All Elite Wrestling, better known as AEW, became the first major competitor to WWE and its monopoly over pro wrestling in decades.
