WWE Rejected Ronda Rousey’s Pitch For Extreme Rules Because It Was Similar To AEW’s Booking

Ronda Rousey is possibly the most well-known name to make her way from the world of combat sports to professional wrestling. Her stock continues to rise even now, but even she was denied by WWE recently.

Since losing the Smackdown Women’s Championship to Liv Morgan, she has been embroiled in a bitter feud with Morgan. She also recently pitched to use LEGO blocks for her match against Morgan at Extreme Rules.

While speaking on her YouTube channel, Rousey revealed that she was told that she cannot go ahead with her pitch for using LEGOs during Extreme Rules, so as to avoid copying AEW. After all, Tony Khan’s company has used LEGO blocks in the past, like in the Arcade Anarchy match.

“I suggested Legos but apparently, AEW did that recently and we didn’t want people to think we’re copying. But I wanted to.”
