Seth Rollins Says WWE Schedule Was 'Tough' For Ronda Rousey

WWE was "tough" for Ronda Rousey, according to Seth Rollins. 

After being asked by ESPN about the possibility of a UFC fighter transitioning to professional wrestling, Rollins cited the WWE schedule as something that would be too much for an MMA fighter. 

"I don't want to knock Ronda Rousey because I love Ronda. She did a lot for our industry, for women in our industry and the fight industry in general, but it was tough for Ronda. She tried her damnedest and it was hard for her. But I don't know, I'd love for somebody to come over and take a crack if you think you can hang. But it's hard," Rollins said.

"They don’t have the stamina for it. They don't fight every single weekend. This championship goes everywhere. It goes everywhere. It goes to like Biloxi, [Miss.]. And especially the top stars over there, they're catered to a certain way, and that's great. That's their style. That's what works for them. You fight maybe once, twice a year. You're crazy, you're fighting three times a year. But to fight over 100 times a year, make all those towns, still be able to train, still be able to do all the media, it's an exhausting industry," he continued.

"I call them all out. I don't care. Try it out. I can't do what they do. I'd go in there and get knocked out and choked out in two seconds. I'd probably do better than [CM] Punk, but I still would lose most likely. They can't come and do what we do either. They're the same umbrella but two totally different worlds."

Ronda Rousey performed for WWE across two runs from 2018 until SummerSlam 2023 when she exited the promotion. Rousey has since wrestled a couple of indy dates, as well as a match in Ring of Honor.

Rousey recently made her thoughts on WWE clear, tweeting that Vince McMahon will retain an influence in WWE as long as Bruce Prichard is employed by the company. Vince McMahon resigned as TKO Executive Chairman following allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and physical and emotional abuse. 

Seth Rollins is currently injured, something that is preventing Damian Priest from cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on the World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins will return for WrestleMania and he is scheduled to defend the title against the winner of the men's Elimination Chamber match.
