WWE Hall of Famer Booker T revealed that Ronda Rousey’s botch at Survivor Series reminded him of a spot he had with Triple H.
Last Saturday, Ronda Rousey defeated Shotzi at Survivor Series: War Games to defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Shotzi. The match saw an awkward spot, however, when Shotzi attempted to DDT Rousey on the apron, only for the SmackDown Women’s Champion to drop her to the floor in a clear botch.
In a recent episode of his Reality of Wrestling podcast, Booker T commented on Rousey’s botch, stating that she reminded him of himself.
“I saw the one move they showed online where Shotzi did a DDT on the top rope to the apron, the hard part of the mat and Ronda [laughs], ‘Let me protect myself in this case.’ I remember Hunter calling out a backdrop and I held on to that rope so tight I didn’t do any backdrops [laughs]. You know what I mean? Ronda reminded me of myself [laughs]. But this place gets a lot, a lot of attention,” he said. (0:01 – 0:46)

Ronda Rousey’s performance in the ring at WWE has been heavily criticized
Ronda Rousey was recently heavily criticized for her allegedly poor performance in the ring. Some rumors also suggest the SmackDown Women’s Champion is rough in the ring.
Her fellow SmackDown star Zelina Vega recently addressed those rumors, revealing that she loves having Rousey in WWE.
“I’ve never been in the ring with her in a sense where I’ve done any moves for her. So I can’t tell if she’s rough or not… I don’t see her trying to take it. * Is after people or specifically trying to hurt people for any reason. Everyone has their own personal relationships with people, but I love that she’s with us,” she said. (That’s dope)
