Fans accuse Michael Chandler of copying Ronda Rousey
Several fans have reacted to Michael Chandler’s appearance on RAW, as well as his latest post. Meanwhile, some of the fans went on to accuse Chandler of copying Ronda Rousey. With that, one fan wrote, “What a way to destroy your reputation like Ronda”.
Meanwhile, it is to be noted that Rousey is known for her time in WWE and UFC.

Moving ahead, in 2018, she stepped foot into the world of pro wrestling and went on to make a huge name for herself.
However, as of now, after Chandler’s latest venture into the Triple H-led promotion, fans are comparing his career with that of Rousey’s. Not to mention, Ronda, during the late years of her pro wrestling career, received a lot of hatred from the fans. With that, it remains to be seen if the same fate awaits Michael or not. Meanwhile, fans will look forward to his highly anticipated fight with The Notorious.
