CHEAP SHOT

Ronda Rousey slams fans for their bizarre reaction after WWE let everyone ‘hit me with bats’

RONDA ROUSEY isn't impressed with what she sees as cheap shot from Liv Morgan.

It all began back in September, when following her defeat of Natalya during SmackDown, Liv Morgan confronted Rousey and attacked her with a baseball bat.

After the two went back and forth ringside, with the bat eventually flying into the ring, Morgan had one final shot at Rousey as she attacked her from behind.

And while Rousey eventually got her own back, defeating Morgan by submission to crown Rousey the Women's SmackDown Champion on October 8 at Extreme Rules, Rousey still isn't happy about how fans reacted to Morgan's attack.

During a live stream on her YouTube channel, Rousey agreed with a comment about Morgan's attack being a "cheap shot," going on to say: "I feel like that's a double standard that everybody else gets to attack me from behind, gets to hit me with bats, gets to do all this other stuff, and [fan's reaction are], 'Oh what a commendable, inspiring babyface.'

"So I'm like, what the heck. I can't even be a heel when I'm a heel."

Per WrestlingInc, Rousey made the switch from babyface to heel after losing to Morgan at SummerSlam.

A questionable call by the referee was enough to make Rousey snap, causing her to attack the official and go after Morgan once more after the match had already been called.

A furious Rousey was subjected to a chorus of boos from the crowd in Tennessee as her switch became clear.

But regardless of how she got there, Rousey is now champion - something she celebrated with a jab via her Instagram: "Go home and cry about it, neckbeards #AndTheNew #TheyLive #Submit"
