In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on "Insight," Ronda Rousey discussed the lack of support and resources she felt she received after her debut at WrestleMania 34.

Ronda Rousey Said -

"Because I got weeks to prepare, all the best minds in the business throwing their two cents in," she explained. "Triple H, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels is helping us out, Michael Hayes, Sara Amato. Everybody that saw it would give their two cents and be like, 'do this, do that...' and it was the product of a lot of different people and time and practice and precision and things like that. To when it got to the day of the event, it was just like, 'Oh my God, I'm so excited, I know exactly [what to do in] this match.' I always wanted to recreate that feeling, but I was never allowed ever again." (Via Insight/Wrestling Inc)
