WBC welterweight boxing champion Ryan Garcia is not mincing words, telling the world he’s as fed up with his recent WWE Raw segment as the fans who absolutely tore it apart. He didn’t pull any punches, flat out stating, “I wish they would have given me a better segment because then I wouldn’t have gotten as much hate.” Talk about calling it like it is!
The Raw Rehash That Got Panned
So, let’s rewind a bit to the July 27th episode of Raw. You remember it, right? Joe Hendry and Danhausen were out there, putting on a concert, doing their thing, when suddenly, out of nowhere, Judgment Day members Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh stormed the stage and crashed the whole party. And who steps out to join them? None other than the boxing champ himself, Ryan Garcia! The man walks right out, then proceeds to absolutely smash a guitar over Joe Hendry’s back, standing tall alongside Mysterio and McDonagh as that chaotic segment finally wrapped up. What a moment, right? Except, well, not exactly. The whole thing got utterly demolished by fans online, getting widely panned faster than you can say ‘main event.’ Now, Garcia himself is pretty much confirming what many suspected: he wasn’t exactly thrilled with how it all went down either. It makes you really wonder what was going through creative’s mind, seriously.
Shaking Off The Noise And Looking Ahead
But don’t for a second think that Garcia is letting all that outside noise actually get to him. The champ, ever the showman, made it abundantly clear that while he acknowledges the brutal criticism, he’s got thicker skin than that. He hit us with a quote that pretty much sums up his entire championship attitude, a classic line: “I understand why people are trying to take me down. … I let people talk. … Here’s the thing, f–k what they think.” Seriously, how much more direct, how much more blunt, can you possibly get? That’s the kind of raw honesty you expect from a fighter at the top of his game. And let’s be real, his WWE Raw appearance wasn’t just some random, fun cameo to blow off steam. This whole spectacle was a calculated move, all part of the hype train for his massive upcoming title defense. He’s squaring off against Conor Benn on September 12th, and trust me, this is absolutely no walk in the park for Garcia. With an impressive 25-2 record, he’s stepping into the ring against Benn, who’s not just 25-1, but just came off a huge win, shutting down former super lightweight champion Regis Prograis. This fight, folks, is truly shaping up to be one of the toughest challenges of Garcia’s entire career, no doubt about it. He’s got way bigger fish to fry than a questionable wrestling segment; his legacy is on the line!
So, while Garcia might be a bit miffed about his WWE creative, his focus has gotta be 100% locked on September 12th. His WBC welterweight title is on the line against Conor Benn, a seriously dangerous opponent. Can he take that “f–k what they think” mentality and channel it into another championship-level performance? We’ll all be watching to find out. This is where the real stakes are, folks. Forget the guitars, it’s about the gold!
