The new WWE TV deals. Any number of angry teens crying online are nothing compared to WWE now having the ability to put the most famous female fighter on a poster or roll her out for a press conference or presentation to new broadcast partners. As the numbers show, UFC’s loss is WWE’s gain. Is it Ronda not being there thats a loss for UFC or is Ronda eating 2 L's back to back the loss for UFC? Both.

She isn’t good, Hell she wasn’t even good in UFC... beating no competition means nothing, she got rocked when actual fighters came along. Twice. And took her ball and ran off like a little punk.
Three years later she shows up in WWE looking permanently constipated (because let’s face it, she’s an AWFUL AWFUL actress. The execs behind Mile 22 even told Peter Berg to give her a smaller part because she’s so damn bad.) being hailed as “the baddest woman on the planet” after being knocked out in back to back fights. Yeah “baddest” alright... now she’s steamrolling over an entire division for what? A few spots on ESPN?
The sooner this experiment fails the better. I hope the fall is huge and public, maybe it’ll teach WWE something.

Why not? We accepted it with Goldberg in his WCW days. Different crowd now though I guess. She could always drop the belt and go after male competitors instead lol The difference is, Goldberg had a much larger talent pool to go through, and worked his way up through jobbers to midcarders to main eventers. The Raw women's division has maybe 10 women, and there is a very short ceiling on where Ronda can go. Yeah that's the major issue. Maybe they don't want her to wrestle much though. How long is her contract for anyway?

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. 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. If the heat gets nuclear in no time then I hope they have the good sense to turn her heel. Knowing wwe though, they will stubbornly keep her a babyface especially if she is selling merchandise.

A heel turn is the best way to go in my eyes. Her whole look at Summerslam with the eye paint just screamed heel.

She will run through all the women, and then... Holly Holm comes in.

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. True. But unless they are unifying the two brands again or the two woman’s titles they need to get both on the same show. Well if they have any sense they will find a way.... A slow programme between the two teasing it for maybe a year? Could be Dynamite.

It's obviously subjective and people are entitled to their opinion. But if you hate on Ronda you are just wrong, so stop.

Fans want instant gratification. Rousey vs Charlotte at the next WM is blowing your load early.
This needs a 2 year build. At the moment both Faces.
Charlotte should go back to heel in 6 months. Have both women dominate for a year. building to what will be the biggest womens match of all time.
OP, no one is unbeatable, given things like multi opponent matches, chair shots, interference, and that's what will keep her hot. Being cheated out of the title at some point then winning it back.

Don't forget Survivor Series. If they both have the titles by November they will most likely face each other at the event. Far sooner than next WM.

If only this was the first reply of the thread, it would’ve been quoted over and over again like that one thread 😂

Honestly, she's done nothing but shine as far as I'm concerned. She's only had 4 matches! Let that sink in. She hasn't been on the indies for 10 years. She didn't train in NXT for years. She's new to this. And IMO pretty good for being a newbie. She seems to have more than enough respect and passion for the business to give this her all. Her name still holds value and brings attention to WWE. I see no reason to bash her.
Give it time. Give her time.

I’m gonna be honest, speak for yourself. I love where Rousey is going and it’s great for mainstream sports media. Makes Rousey getting knocked off at some point mean much more.
She’s going to be a female Hogan

Exactly this! I wonder, did Kurt Angle go through the same hate and crap Ronda’s getting? Seems like all people wanna do is hate and see people successful in other forms of sports or entertainment fail in others.
