WWE SmackDown Commentator Corey Graves Comments On Ronda Rousey's Critical Comments, Says She Is Entitled To Her Opinion

Ronda Rousey, former Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion, has been vocal in recent interviews about her time with WWE. After leaving the company following SummerSlam, Rousey hasn't held back on critiques, including comments suggesting Vince McMahon wasn't a great boss and a return to WWE seems unlikely.## These criticisms reached WWE commentator Corey Graves, who offered his perspective on the situation during an interview with Sportskeeda WrestleBinge. ## Graves acknowledged everyone has a unique experience in WWE, highlighting how some, like Logan Paul, thrive while others might have a tougher go. He pointed out Rousey's background in combat sports being different from WWE's more scripted environment. ## “Listen, I take everything with a grain of salt, and if you’re in this business for any duration, you get used to letting those sort of things roll off your back. Everybody has a different experience in the WWE or in the wrestling business. Not everybody accomplishes what they set out to accomplish. Some people never expect to love it and fall madly in love with it. You look at a guy coming from a different world like a Logan Paul, who’s taken to this like a fish to water. ## He’s having a very different experience. Ronda came from the combat sports world, which is a very different world, despite being the same general flavor as wrestling, as WWE. So I’ve always gotten along well with Ronda. Her personal experience is her personal experience. When my name is mentioned, I can add something, but you never really fault anybody…she’s entitled to her opinion. I don’t necessarily say I’m inclined to agree, and I may downright disagree sometimes, but people are entitled to their opinions, and I’m sorry that she feels that way. She’s got a lot of fans around the world who were grateful for her time here," ## While Graves avoids directly agreeing with Rousey's criticisms, he emphasizes her right to her opinion. He expresses his disagreement might occur at times but respects her perspective. Graves acknowledges the global fanbase that enjoyed Rousey's time in WWE despite her current feelings. ## Transcript Via Fightful ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Cody Rhodes Compares The Rock's New Character To Hollywood Hulk Hogan

The Rock's highly anticipated return to WWE has taken an unexpected turn. While everyone expected a dream match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, a fan movement erupted demanding "We Want Cody!" This, according to Cody Rhodes himself on First Take, led to a shift in plans. ## "The Rock is a wrestling legend," said Rhodes. "But fans wanted me to finish the story."## This fan sentiment resulted in the birth of a new Rock persona: "The Final Boss." Rhodes compared this new character to Hollywood Hulk Hogan, suggesting a more ruthless and egotistical side of The Rock.## "I don't want to say all positive things," admitted Rhodes, "but that's the staying power. You turn this and make it something special."## The "Final Boss" hasn't wasted any time antagonizing Rhodes, dominating him on Raw for the past two weeks. WrestleMania 40 just got a whole lot more interesting, with Cody Rhodes teaming up with Seth Rollins to take on The Rock and Roman Reigns in a epic tag team main event.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Now you try to cop art from my ex. I'm a fan. But please Leave me be, Dewey."## This is the first hint of activity from MJF since losing the AEW Championship to Samoa Joe and being betrayed by Adam Cole at Worlds End.

Is Lance Anoa'i the Next Bloodline Member?

The Anoa'i family tree continues to be a hotbed for WWE Superstar speculation, and Lance Anoa'i just threw gasoline on the fire. ## In a recent tweet, Anoa'i hinted at a potential future with the company, specifically using the initials "NXT." This is seen as the most blatant clue yet from a family member regarding their desire to join WWE and potentially become part of the dominant Bloodline stable. ## Lance Anoa'i isn't entirely new to WWE rings. He's had a few matches under his belt, including a tag team loss alongside Rhett Titus on SmackDown in 2014. He also teamed with Garriston Spears for a losing effort against the Authors of Pain on NXT TV in 2017. Most memorably, Anoa'i faced off against Shane McMahon on Raw in 2019. ## While Anoa'i's tweet might be a tease, it adds to the ongoing rumors surrounding the Bloodline's future members. Tama Tonga, who isn't directly related by blood but considered an honorary member of the Bloodline's extended family, is reportedly on his way to WWE. Other names like Jacob Fatu and Zilla Fatu are also frequently mentioned as potential additions to the powerful faction.## With the Anoa'i family lineage a proven source of wrestling talent, all eyes are now on WWE and whether they'll officially welcome Lance Anoa'i into the NXT fold, potentially paving the way for a future Bloodline reunion. ## Could I be the NeXT ☝🏽?— Lance Anoa’i (@lanceanoai) April 2, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
