I wonder well public opinion here if y'all think Ronda Rousey could pull off being a top heel in the Women's division? Or do y'all think she should stay a face? I wanna hear your thoughts.

Her acting ability is bad, but I think she has the ability to get heat. That's different than being a good heel, though.
Just look at the past few weeks. Ronda has gotten boo'd every time she's mentioned Becky Lynch.
Ronda Rousey, despite being very good for her short time in WWE so far, is hated by a large population of fans due to them believing she doesn't deserve where she is and they think she was shot straight to the top based on what she was in UFC. Maybe there is truth to that, but there's also truth to the fact that WWE is a business and at the end of the day you've gotta go with who's selling and drawing, not necessarily the crowd favorites.
I think if they wanted to, they could have Ronda turn and align with Stephanie McMahon and get super super super heat. They shouldn't try and make her anything more than what people already feel. Have her be Steph's handpicked favorite. That right there is enough to get her boo'd out of any building.
Ronda Rousey/Stephanie McMahon could be the women's division equivalent to Steve Austin/Vince McMahon. Bitter enemies until the day they join forces.

Ronda was a heel in the UFC until around when she beat Davis in like 15 seconds. She was a full heel against Miesha. That Ronda was my favorite Ronda in the UFC. That was the girl who put women's MMA on her back and pioneered it to where the sport is today, which honestly isn't the same without her, unfortunately. Ronda started to really bask in the fan adulation after the Zingano fight. She thought she was invincible and then Holm kicked her in the head, and once her ego was shattered, so too was her UFC career. As evident by her not even trying against Nunes and just collecting the paycheck. 2014 Ronda would have broken Nunes arm off her shoulder.
I don't know if she can ever be that Ronda again, but I'd absolutely love to see her give it a try. Ronda knows how to be cocky and confident. That being said, I think people love her ability and the only reason she's getting any boos is due to how over Becky Lynch is getting as the anti-hero. That's not reflective of a dislike for Ronda, but a pure love for Becky. I think either way, Ronda is money and she'll continue be successful at whatever role they give her.

I think she’d need a manager, as she’s pretty flimsy as an actress.

Did anyone see what Ronda said about Becky in her Instagram post?? Something about, "now you know what it's like to get hit in the face for real" pretty much saying that WWE is fake.
Ronda could have worded that around so much better.

She comes off as dislikable already. I think sooner than later she’s going to turn, especially during that match with Becky whenever that happens. Becky is too over to illicit any heat.

Ronda Rousey and Paul Heyman is actually a pretty good pairing

Of course and it would fit her personality better if she was a heel. She looks so uncomfortable when she's all smiling. She's a natural at wrestling, don't care what anyone says, Ronda is doing great, but yea, I think with the right people behind her she can get "Die Rocky Die" levels of heat.

She'd probably be better as a heel. Gotta work on her mad face and stop smiling all the time..

Align her with Baszler, Shafir and Duke. Together they could be the greatest women's faction of all time.

Anybody could become a fantastic heel with the WWE machine behind them, problem is fans love to cheer the “bad guys”, not because of their character but their work ethic. So yes, she could. But she’s fine as a face, turning her heel would just please the snarks that wanted Cena and Reigns heel turns too.

She would be more likeable as a heel.

She would be more likeable as a heel. Thus proving my post, heels aren’t supposed to be liked but somehow fans prefer to cheer the faces they dislike when they’re heels which makes 0 sense to me because eventually they’ll turn back face 🤦🏽♂️ |

Believable?! Ha!
Ronda is a natural heel (see her behavior in MMA; trash talking everyone) and her officially becoming one is inevitable.

Yes, I definitely think she would be. Despite impressing a lot of wrestling fans, there are still a few fans who continue to despise her because of her background in MMA, and her rise to the top in a matter of months. I was one of those fans myself, until she proved us wrong to doubt her at WrestleMania. The reason I bring this up is because I think for a lot of non-MMA fans, there was the perception that they'd bring her in, piss all over the women's division, and then leave. In fact, Shayna Baszler's run in NXT is pretty much how I imagined Ronda Rousey's run would go, but to a much more one-sided degree. If they decided to turn Ronda heel, feeding off of that perception of "vicious, sadistic, entitled former MMA fighter" sounds like the most surefire way to garner heat.
Ronda's backstage interview on RAW seemed like the early beginnings of a heel turn. She had the totally illogical heel argument part down.

he is the obvious pick for sure. but maybe a new face, representing a trainer in mma. Maybe they could get that guy from Bobby Lashley's MMA gym. He has experience from his work in TNA. (It's a JOKE! I know he was bad.) |
