Ronda Rousey has taken WWE fans to task and branded them ‘ungrateful idiots’ after Bray Wyatt left the company.

The former Raw Women’s Champion has hit out at the response to The Fiend’s release after the live crowd in Chicago chanted ‘we want Wyatt’ during an exchange between Goldberg and Bobby Lashley during Raw on Monday.

In what many have described as something of a sweeping statement, She tweeted: ‘I’ve seen you same “fans” chanting #WeWantWyatt last night chanting “We want beach balls” over @WWEBrayWyatt performing.

‘If the @wwe treated him like he was expendable it was because you ungrateful idiots did first.’

It should be noted that others seemed to agree with Ronda and her assessment of the studio.

However, before his release Wyatt – and especially The Fiend character – was a huge hit with fans, and he shifted a lot of merchandise for the company.

His departure was met with a stunned reaction from the audience, and many people had predicted a response from those in attendance this week.

Former UFC star Ronda hasn’t always seen eye to eye with wrestling fans, and she previously hit out at them over her WWE run.

She said: ‘What am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f**king ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me?’

However, asked when she will come back, Ronda has since quipped: ‘Probably whenever the hell I feel like it. If they would just let me show up at live events, probably very soon.’

That said, she is now pregnant with her first child with husband Travis Browne, which means there is no confirmation or timeline on her in-ring return.
