Alexa has defeated nearly every women on the roster and yet last night she was obliterated by Rousey. Now looking forward if every future Rousey match will be one sided affairs with her opponent getting zero offence fans will turn big time.
Last night left a very bad taste in my mouth and fans will not accept Rousey if her opponents get swung around like weak rag dolls.

Rousey will dominate everyone until she faces Charlotte at WM. Where Charlotte will go over her.

She's had four matches. The only opponent she's faced to-date that should have given her trouble is Nia, who she had like a 10 minute match against at MITB. Alexa is an amazing character, tops of the women imo, but she's not a great wrestler. Alexa's entire gimmick is being a chicken sh*t heel who outsmarts her opponents. Except for this time Alexa ran out of friends and couldn't run away. So she got the beating she deserved.
People need to get comfortable with Ronda. She's way over, she's got mainstream popularity, and she's figuring this stuff out quickly. She's going to have plenty of competitive matches in WWE against the better athletes in the division and when it makes sense.
I think they are going to build her up to face Charlotte in the main event of WrestleMania at some point over the next few years. So she's going to be in this spotlight for the foreseeable future and break that barrier. Might as well get the complaints out of your system now.

Alexa standing toe to toe with Ronda would have been a laughing stock. I love Alexa Bliss and genuinely think she's one of the most complete characters on the entire roster (man or woman), but last night went exactly as it needed to. Alexa is touted as resourceful and athletic against the rest of the women's roster, but not particularly skilled. Her skills simply would not, and should not match up well against Rousey.
Rousey is going to plow through women and it's going to be fine, because she's a huge star and her simply being there is elevating the division as a whole. Could it lead to people turning on her? Absolutely. The way she's being booked requires careful attention to detail, which isn't WWE's strong suit. But, they've gone a great job so far, so we have to assume she's being handled with care until we see evidence that she isn't.

It’s no different than Braun. He’s been booked as an unbeatable monster so when he cashs in there’s going to nobody that will have a chance to beat him.
But in Ronda’s case there’s nobody on the RAW roster who would be a legitimate threat to her. Maybe Nia because of her size, but it’s certainly not Bliss standing toe to toe with her. So I don’t see why the fans wouldn’t accept it.

Ronda Rousey has been incredibly impressive so far, and this is coming from somebody who never wanted to see her anywhere near the WWE, and was originally vehemently against the idea of her coming to WWE. She's just continued to impress and improve with every appearance. Her passion and love for wrestling shines through, and she's made the transition from MMA to WWE far smoother than others (Shayna Baszler comes to mind, who I think I've only ever seen do a couple of suplexes, in terms of wrestling moves). You can tell Rousey is fully committed to wrestling, so of course they should run with her, given her star power and mainstream exposure. I love that they've made her champion, and I can't wait to see how her career progresses.
Plus, anyone who beats the hell out of Bliss and takes the title away from her gets a massive thumbs up in my book. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they had Rousey drop the title straight back to Bliss, because that's what they do every single time. Lets see if they've finally gotten over their obsession with Alexa. I think the publicity Rousey brings will help them do that.

If Ronda is booked like she was booked last night, She will be "Roman boo'ed" by the time Royal Rumble comes around if not sooner. I understand everyones ideology of "Alexa would be destroyed in a real fight with Ronda" but this is wrestling. The match last night seriously set WWE's "Womens revolution" back easily 10 years as far as ring quality. Your COO or whatever Stephanie is got in more offense then a 5 times womens champion. Think about that.
Yes you have someone that's got a ton of mainstream appeal but you pretty much just told the Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch and all these women that have been busting their asses to make the division worth watching, that they're completely irrelevant. If you're a fan of womens wrestling or a fan of any woman on the roster, you should be rather pissed knowing that the WWE just shat on everything your favorite has done up until this time.

Said it before and will again. I'm not a Ronda Rousey fan and I have no interest in UFC. I am a wrestling fan so it kind of makes me sad the likes of Ronda now being champ after only 4 matches when someone like Alexa or in reality any of the others have out years into this and get strung out for Ronda.
Its been bad enough we had Brock as champ as long as we had.
Sad picture at the moment when you consider the other 2 title changes were I favor of Roman and Charlotte. Both snooze fest.
Stopped paying for Sky Sports months ago and I now only pay for the WWE network twice a year For Mania and the Rumble. Otherwise ive pretty much give up on WWE. It's stuff like this that make me glad i have.

Hit the nail right on the head. People are not going to accept their favourite stars being being tore to shreds in one sided booking. Ronda might be best for business but she bad for the Women's Revolution. Roman may get booked strongly but he does get his ass kicked during his matches so if every Rousey match is booked like last night the heat will be nuclear in no time.

I think that ever since cena/lesnar at summerslam squash blowouts have been over booked in general. the goldberg/lesnar one was especially goofy but got goldberg over for the match they wanted I suppose.
anyways, wwe didn’t drop the money on roused just for her to fall amongst the rankings - they want her as THE draw. how’d she do that in ufc? by running through some opponents. so they’re trying to recreate that. and I think it’s working very well on the general fan.

God forbid someone lose a match. I guess she'll just be champion until the end of time now since she beat Alexa so bad. Whine, moan, cry.

Since Beckys "heel turn" backfired so brilliantly with the crowd(man I loved that)? Heel Charlotte vs Rousey is THE Programme.
Charlotte is an incredible heel who is a legit physical threat to Ronda because of her experience, calibre etc.

But unless they are unifying the two brands again or the two woman’s titles they need to get both on the same show.

But that was a three on one attack where they still had trouble. True Roman had Braun’s number during last year feud. But they way they have been treating Braun for the last few months had made him an unbeatable monster. So I thing for the next few weeks whenever Roman has a match and Braun comes out to cash in Rollins and Ambrose will come out as the Shield to stop him until Hell in the Cell where Roman and Braun will face off then we’ll see which way they go.

Maybe it’s time to watch something else if every WWE show upsets you this much. Ronda Rousey and Roman Reigns both have 0 wins in NJPW, ROH and TNA.
