5 things WWE fans may dislike about Ronda Rousey

Ex-UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has made quite an impact since debuting in WWE back in January, as she has exceeded expectations as an in-ring performer. In fact, some would argue that her match at WrestleMania 34 was the best match on the entire show.

For her matches, WWE is pretty much doing what they should've done with Brock Lesnar when they brought him back to the company six years ago, which is destroy everyone in a believable fashion.

Her dominance in the ring, on top of the fact that people know she's a legitimate fighter, has helped her build a ton of steam as a character in WWE. In fact, there are probably people out there who disliked her in the UFC because of the way she handled her losses, who love her now because she's such a great performer.

But while WWE has done a great job with her so far, there are a few things about her on-screen character that need a ton of work, and on top of that, there are a few things she's done outside of WWE that the company would probably like you to forget about.

#5 Getting a title shot right away

While WWE fans do enjoy when part-time wrestlers like Triple H, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and The Rock come back for a match, they tend to not like them so much when they come back and challenge for a title without earning it first.

For example: Goldberg. Look how much the WWE fans loved his comeback, and look how much they hated him after he won the Universal Championship. In fact, the fans started to boo him leading up to that match, simply because they figured that he was winning the title.

The same thing could've happened with Ronda Rousey after WWE decided to have her challenge for the Raw Women's Championship after having just one match in the company, and that match wasn't even a singles match. So, it was a little baffling to see her get a title shot right away, especially since the idea when she came in was that she was going to work her way to the top.

Luckily, Ronda didn't end up winning the title, because I think that that might've ruined her as a babyface. Also, don't be surprised if when Ronda goes for the title again, WWE completely ignores the fact that she already challenged for the title.

#4 She's A Part-Timer

When it was first announced that Rousey had signed with WWE, it was reported that she had signed a full-time contract. However, her participation WWE has been anything but full-time.

Sure, unlike some of the people on the WWE roster, Ronda probably has other commitments that would get in the way of her being a full-time WWE star. It's almost like the report of her being a full-timer was put out there by WWE just so their fans wouldn't end up resenting her for being in a top spot right away.

Obviously, Rousey is better off being a part-timer, as WWE may not book her well if she was a full-time member of the roster. Sure, she's definitely more full-time than some of the company's other part-time performers, but she's not wrestling the same amount of matches that guys like AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins are.

The ex-UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion has done a few live events, but she's definitely not on the road full-time like the rest of the WWE roster is.

#3 She's Not A Good Promo

The one thing we've learned during her time in WWE is that, while she's had some pretty good matches, Ronda Rousey is far from being the best talker in the business. In her defense though, she doesn't need to be a great talker, she just needs to keep doing what she's doing in the ring.

However, there will come a point when she does need to start talking a little more, so to circumvent that, they might want to put her with someone like Paul Heyman, who'll presumably be free after SummerSlam.

But, for now, on her own, Ronda Rousey isn't going to "talk them into the building," and again, that's okay for now, but WWE can't continue to hide her lack of promo skills forever, unless they pair her with someone who can do most of the talking for her.

#2 Handling Her UFC Losses Poorly

In the interest of fairness, I want to preface this by saying that I have, and in in all likelihood never will experience what it's like to perform and/or fight in front of several thousand people in an arena, and in front of millions around the world, so I'll never know what it's like to fail on a grand stage.

But, I have seen others, like Conor McGregor for example, who failed against Nate Diaz, and who failed against Floyd Mayweather, take his lumps with his chin up instead of going into hiding and demanding that interviewers couldn't ask him about his losses, which is pretty much what Ronda Rousey did.

In the rare circumstances where she would talk about losses, she'd come off as really immature and unlikable, which was pretty much the opposite of how she was viewed while she was still undefeated. Luckily, she's been able to rebuild her image thanks to WWE, but I guess the question now is, will she also be a poor sport when WWE isn't booking her as strongly? I guess we'll find out eventually!

#1 Getting Brutally KO'd Twice

Without Ronda Rousey, women in the UFC likely wouldn't be a thing now, and because of that, the skill level of the women in MMA has risen.

We saw no better example of the evolution of women's MMA in Rousey's two final fights in the UFC, where she was completely outclassed and brutally knocked out. The fights basically showed her lack of ability to take herself out of her comfort zone in an attempt to gain more skills. Instead, she continued to work with the same coach, who in the MMA community is considered to be one of the worst coaches out there, and continued with the same old gameplan.

In WWE, they're portraying her like she's the "baddest woman on the planet," when in reality, she might not even be a top 5 fighter in the women's bantamweight division. In WWE's defense, it doesn't benefit their cause to mention Rousey's two losses, but it is always going to be the elephant in the room when they try to push her as an unstoppable force.
