#3 The women’s Royal Rumble finale

Ronda Ro
Ronda Rousey appeared at the end of the women's Royal Rumble

What happened: The first-ever women’s Royal Rumble took place in January and the majority of fans thought the match itself delivered. However, Asuka’s celebration was tainted somewhat by the appearance of MMA megastar Ronda Rousey, who stole the spotlight from “The Empress of Tomorrow” (and, arguably, the 30 performers in the match) when the show closed with her pointing to the WrestleMania sign.

What could have happened: Maybe WWE should have debuted Ronda at Fastlane or Elimination Chamber instead of the Rumble. Her spotlight-stealing moment at the end of the historic match hasn’t gone down well with the majority of fans and her name was booed this week when she was mentioned on Raw and SmackDown Live.
