Ronda Rousey continues to not mince her words when it comes to WWE and has taken aim at former Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.

"He looked and acted like an entitled sixty-year-old former frat boy... Whereas Triple H looked for talent and potential in NXT prospects, it appeared John Laurinaitis looked for f*ckability."

Rousey goes on to describe Laurinaitis as an "all-around dirtbag." The former Raw & SmackDown Women's Champion is heavily critical of Laurinaitis and Vince McMahon morphing WWE NXT into NXT 2.0 following Triple H's health scare in 2021.

Laurinaitis is named in Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. The former Raw & SmackDown GM has claimed he is a victim, not a predator, in this situation. More recently, Laurinaitis waived his right to be served, making clear that he is aware of the litigation.

In the book, Rousey admits that she loves the majority of people in WWE, but that love doesn't extend to Bruce Prichard & John Laurinaitis. Rousey, in her own words, says the pair can "go f*** themselves."

This isn't the only time Rousey has hit out at Prichard. Following Vince McMahon's resignation in January 2023, Rousey claimed that as long as Prichard was with WWE, McMahon would always have a significant role in decisions.

Rousey compares Vince McMahon to Emperor Palpatine, the antagonist of the Star Wars franchise, in her book. She adds that it's hard to differentiate between the evil Mr. McMahon character and the man himself, especially in light of the allegations against McMahon and WWE in Janel Grant's lawsuit.
