Ronda Rousey WWE crush

Ronda Rousey isn’t famous for just being “Rowdy”, but she is also well known for voicing straightforward opinions. Be it her thoughts on the women’s division or fan perception of her work, The Baddest Woman On The Planet says what she feels like saying. In fact, she doesn’t shy away from admitting she finds someone attractive. Ronda Rousey once felt a WWE superstar was “s*xy” and it’s not John Cena.

Alongside being one of the top superstars in WWE history, The Cenation Leader, for many, was and still is very charismatic. For those who might disagree, he was named “S*xiest Man of the Week” by “People Magazine” in October 2006.

However, if you ask Ronda Rousey, she found someone other than John Cena very attractive. As a matter of fact, it’s one of his biggest opponents in the past.

Which WWE Superstar did Ronda Rousey confess to having a crush on?

Well, it’s none other than “The Straight Edge Superstar”, the man who is always in the news, CM Punk. Rousey was in attendance during the January 6 episode of RAW in 2014. It was when The Baddest Woman On The Planet was in UFC.

The show had an “Old School” theme, which meant Ronda Rousey saw names like Randy Orton, John Cena, and many more. She even witnessed the in-ring of then-Big Dog “Roman Reigns”. However, it was his opponent CM Punk who she found “sexy”.

After the episode, Rousey took to her Twitter account and wrote this:

“Dammit! The second I said you were s*xy you lost…Maybe I should cut that out…”

She tagged Punk and ever used #SpeedosAndHoodies referring to The Straight Edge’s wrestling attire. Her opinion might have changed now that she herself is a WWE superstar. However, back then, it’s obvious Ronda Rousey found CM Punk more attractive than John Cena.

The Baddest Woman On The Planet has been sidelined for a while following an injury

Heading into WrestleMania 39, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler were the top contenders for the women’s tag team titles. There were reports that they might even win them at the mega event. However, the plans had to be dropped because of her injury.

Last month, Rousey revealed that she had fractured her elbow during a live event in February. Unfortunately, she suffered the injury by slapping the mat. That led to her being booked in the Women’s Showcase Match. Moreover, she has appeared on WWE TV since WrestleMania 39.
