Rousey’s High Expectations
Ronda Rousey also did not enter WWE with star power in her hands. The former UFC champion came with mainstream publicity and level of credibility that is hardly experienced in the female arena. Her debut in life left the world of wrestling with a lot of expectations. Theoretically, the alliance seemed to be a match made in heaven between the two. However, she never performed this well as promised first.
Creative Choices Impact
Reflectively, it has barely been a matter of labour or ability. Rousey has been playing brilliantly in the ring. The greater impediments were normally the creative decisions. Numerous instances of her performances determined how the fans are reliving her WWE days.
Rousey vs Lynch
One of the most talked about ones was the case when she competed with Becky Lynch. The war had the elements of the usual battle. Lynch enjoyed a massive following and traction. Rousey was the icon of the global mega-star who came to her kingdom. It was a reality and subjective tension.
Triple Threat Controversy
WWE also has done the same to Charlotte Flair by involving her in the main event of WrestleMania 35 rather than staging a singles match. The triple threat match turned into the primary show of a female wrestling which was named WrestleMania. However, it changed the storyline of the piece. One on one Lynch vs. Rousey was something that many fans wanted. That would have been a more touching and better resolution to that confrontation.
The other challenge was the speech by Rousey on the stage. The presence of her physical being at the ring could never be questioned. She danced and fought as a good and decent fighting pro. Promos on the other hand require yet another skill set.
Rousey Needed Manager
Many times managers have been employed to make characters stronger in WWE. The example is the case of Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. Rousey did not have such a preaching voice. A manager would have helped in the development of the message and communication with the audiences in a more systematic way.
SummerSlam 2023 Feud
The second significant example was when SummerSlam 2023 took place. Rousey was forced to face Shayna Baszler in a MMA Rules. It was a feud that had some foundation because of their actual life history. Theoretically, the concept appeared unique and suitable.
SummerSlam Match Critique
The match however did not appeal to the wrestling audience. The presentation was predominantly dominated by realism. There was much deficiency in traditional wrestling drama. It was more a show than a major development of the plot.
Nevertheless, Rousey had attained a lot in the WWE profession. She was headlining WrestleMania together with her and she generated immense publicity. She did not however run to her potential aided by a number of imaginative decisions.
