Ronda Rousey has commented on the DDT to the ring apron she took in her match against Shotzi at WWE Survivor Series.

Rousey spent some time talking about the match during a recent video game stream on YouTube. During the bout, Shotzi gave Rousey a DDT on the ring apron but the timing between the two was off.

"Well, guys. Do you ever wake up from a deep sleep and think of a cringe moment in your life? Then you lay awake in bed? Well, I had one of those this morning. I woke up at 630 this morning and was like, 'Oh god, that DDT on the apron! Ahhh!"

"So, let me explain what happened," Rousey continued. "I actually pitched that spot because I love that she does that but we couldn't practice it in my ring because the ropes were too loose and then we couldn't practice it when we got to the arena because there were these big cages."

"Everyone was so focused on 'you got to guide her over, you got to guide her to the floor,' that it was literally all that was on my mind when it happened. So, she went over, I was like, 'guide her' and when she was down, I was like, 'oh f**k. Ahhh, just go to where you're supposed to go.'"

"I f***ed it up because I was so concerned with keeping somebody safe and a lot of times when you see me do something for the first time, it's the first time I ever did it. It's the first time I ever did it, I was really concerned with keeping Shotzi safe and I made it look bad and you know what? Sorry. Apparently, I deserve to be fired or burned."

Rousey would continue to say that just as they were turning the match around, they got the call from the back to go to the finish early.

"I guess the match before us went over by like six minutes and they were really concerned about going over on time and the match after us was a three-way so they wouldn’t be able to communicate with each other to be able to make the match shorter. The match after that was WarGames, they couldn’t cut that out so it was the only place where they could get that time back. So, I was kind of bummed though because we worked on that match for two weeks and we were really excited about it and I feel like I really kind of failed Shotzi. I really wanted to showcase her s**t and make all of her s**t look great and show everybody how great she is."

"But that wasn’t the match, that was like the beginning of the match and I’m kind of bummed that we’re getting judged from not really what we put together."

Great that she took responsibility but I can't excuse the excuses.

Fucked up but owned up. Still seems a bit defense like she should be fired or burned, now learn from this mistake and move on.

Botches happen. She owned it.

People forget she’s really only had 2-3 years of wrestling experience. Anyone else and it’s a non-story

She only brought that up because a bunch of losers started a #FireRondaRousey trend on the socials.

I recognize that, still didn't seem necessary to bring it up. Let those losers deal with themselves.
