3 reasons why Ronda Rousey must turn heel on the road to WrestleMania

#1 The crowd has already turned on her

The crowd has started to boo her already.

Make no mistake, Ronda Rousey is insanely popular and is WWE's biggest mainstream star. However, that has not stopped the hardcore WWE fans from booing her mercilessly. It started at Survivor Series when Charlotte Flair laid a vicious beatdown on her.

And it returned in full voice on Raw, after the rumours started flying over her potential early WWE exit. Now that Becky Lynch is facing her, it is no secret who will get cheered and who will get booed. And if reactions to unpopular strong babyfaces are anything to go by, Ronda Rousey is going to be in for a rough couple of months.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

She has seemed rattled from the boos in the past, so maybe it would be smart to just turn her fully heel, even if it is only for this program. WWE should just embrace the boos and set Rousey free, have her literally live up to her Baddest Woman moniker.

It would certainly keep her confidence high, heading into a crucial few months. The least it would do is make the reaction seem authentic enough, plus the story is right there.

Becky Lynch is the hero of the people, the one who will conquer the evil beast, Ronda Rousey. That story writes itself.

Please WWE, just turn Rousey heel for this one program. It will be worth it.
