In a surprising turn of events, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey has voiced her opinion on the recent resignation of Vince McMahon, the executive chairman of TKO, the parent company of WWE. Rousey took to social media to call for the removal of Bruce Prichard, one of McMahon's longtime right-hand men who currently serves as the executive director of Raw and SmackDown.

Rousey emphasized that Prichard has been McMahon's trusted confidant, acting as his avatar and ensuring McMahon's influence over the company's talent and creative process. The 60-year-old Prichard has worked alongside McMahon in WWE since the 1980s, with his latest tenure beginning in 2019.

The resignation of McMahon, 78, came shortly after former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse and sex trafficking to other WWE executives. Prichard, however, has not been linked to any of the allegations against McMahon.

Rousey, who has had multiple stints with WWE and is a renowned world champion, was present during McMahon's previous retirement in 2022. At that time, rumors circulated that Prichard's appointment as interim head of talent relations was a move to allow McMahon to maintain influence over the company's decisions. Prichard took over the role from John Laurinaitis, who was removed after his involvement in the hush money scandal and sexual abuse allegations against McMahon.

McMahon returned to WWE in January to pursue a sale of the company, which was ultimately sold to Endeavor for a staggering $9.2 billion last April. This resulted in the formation of TKO, a publicly traded company with a valuation of $21.4 billion that merged WWE with the UFC.

Rousey's comments have ignited conversations regarding the future leadership and creative direction of WWE. While Prichard has not been implicated in any wrongdoing, Rousey's concerns about McMahon's potential influence through him have raised questions about the company's future under new leadership.

It remains to be seen how WWE will respond to Rousey's call for Prichard's removal and how it will impact the ongoing operations of the wrestling entertainment powerhouse. As the story develops, fans and industry insiders await updates on the situation and the potential changes that lie ahead for WWE.
