Ronda Rousey is finally pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest criticisms of her WWE careerher promos. In a brutally honest moment, the former UFC Champion revealed shes been battling a lifelong speech disorder that made delivering scripted lines in WWE incredibly difficult.
While speaking to Bert Kreischer, Rousey explained that she suffers from apraxia, a motor speech disorder that affects how your brain sends signals to your mouth. For Rousey, that meant her words didnt always come out the way she intended.
But according to Rousey, WWE promos were a whole different level of pressure. Every slip-up is noticed, and trying too hard to sound perfect can backfire.
Rousey hasnt been part of WWE since 2023, and she doesnt seem in any rush to return. Still, her admission brings a whole new layer to the criticism she faced during her run. Fans often ripped her for sounding stiff or robotic, but few realized the real reason behind it. Whether you loved or hated her promos, Rouseys vulnerability now puts that chapter of her WWE career in a different light.
