Give it a chance man!
Nikki Bella might not be the ideal opponent for Ronda Rousey at the Evolution pay per view, but that doesn't mean The WWE Universe should just completely crap on it. In fact, WWE showcased quite a few reasons why Nikki Bella versus Ronda Rousey is a must-see match during the October 15th edition of Monday Night Raw.
Of course, some fans probably aren't going to care and will continue to crap on this monumental match up, but at least hear out the reasons why fans should give the storyline a chance. In the end, its ultimately up to The WWE Universe what they want to do, but why would they be so opposed to one of the most attitude era like feuds of the year?
With that in mind and The Evolution pay per view less than two weeks away, here are six reasons why The WWE Universe needs to give this feud a chance and actually watch the whole thing play out before rendering a verdict. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and if you still dislike the storyline or not.
#6 Represents two era's
Say what you want about Nikki Bella and most fans probably will, but she was a very dominant champion during her time in The WWE. Like it or not, she also turned the word Diva into an empowering term in WWE and did so on her own terms. With that being said, Nikki is thus a good representation of that era.
Compare that to the current era of women's wrestling and Ronda Rousey and you have a culture clash that is sure to sell tickets! Think about it! Its the same thing with John Cena. Fans might not have liked him and a lot still don't, but he still defined an era of pro wrestling and changed the course of the business forever.
Unfortunately for those that can't stand The Bella Twins, these two women represent that era of wrestling, which is supposed to be showcased at The Evolution pay per view. In the end, its era versus era and while a lot of fans seem to not be excited due to who represents The Divas era, they should be exciting to watch this exciting television unfold!
#5 Lack of quality opponents
A lot of fans seem to still be upset that Nikki Bella was chosen as Ronda Rousey's opponent at Evolution, but those same fans fail to realize that the company doesn't exactly have many other options. In fact, beyond maybe Natalya, and Ember Moon, WWE has no one they can really stick in this high profile spot, which is probably why Bella was chosen
Of course, WWE could have always done a rematch from a previous title bout or even stack the deck against Rousey with a triple threat or fatal four-way situation, but that seems a little excessive right now. Furthermore, the storyline WWE is using with Rousey and Nikki has been very effective so far, which may have not been the case if another opponent was chosen.
In the end, this isn't a knock against any of the women on The Raw roster and just an example of no one really having the main event appeal to take on Rousey. Beyond that, doing this would have also forced WWE to decide between giving a young star a main event loss or having them go over Rousey, which could hurt her momentum.
#4 The publicity
Whether The WWE Universe likes it or not, the company still needs to gain some more mainstream appeal and that involves doing what is best for business. Unfortunately for those that aren't a fan of Bella versus Rousey at Evolution, it is already proving its value by becoming the talking point to the mainstream media and being covered by TMZ.
If nothing else, this is exactly what WWE needs right now and Bella and Rousey taking shots at each other in the media only makes it better. Think about it! When else does TMZ really talk about WWE beyond John Cena? Furthermore, how often do they talk about the women's division and a women's title match?
In the end, its publicity and that's what WWE needs in order to make The Evolution pay per view a success. Of course, there are other factors that are ultimately going to go into making the pay per view a success as well, but nothing compares having your feud talked about in the mainstream media leading up to the event!
#3 Very personal
One of the things that fans have to like about the feud between Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella is how personal things are getting in such a short time. While some were worried that WWE wouldn't be able to pull off a rivalry between Rousey and Bella, especially many feared it wouldn't look legitimate, it seems WWE is handling it pretty well.
Of course, other fans might have a different opinion on that, but both Nikki Bella and Ronda Rousey dropped some pretty good pipe bombs on each other last week on Raw. Furthermore, the multiple highlight reel type moments during their promo has been talked about all week on social media, which is another positive sign for the feud.
In the end, the fans can crap on this storyline all they want, but Bella and Rousey's willingness to get personal with each other is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale title scene. It also is a great sign that the beatdown that Rousey ultimately lays on Bella will be a gruelling one, which will be interesting to see.
#2 Paul Heyman working with Rousey on promos
According to The Wrestling Observer, Paul Heyman has been helping Ronda Rousey produce her segments recently and has also been giving her lines to read. Interestingly enough, he is also said to be responsible for the comment about John Cena kicking Bella out of his bedroom, which was a huge hit with fans afterwards.
While it's not known if WWE will stick with this plan long-term or even make Rousey the first ever Paul Heyman girl, it seems like the company is at least going to use Heyman in this storyline. With that being said, Heyman is a genius at this kind of stuff, which is a genuine reason for fans to at least stay engaged with the storyline as it progresses.
Maybe it will turn out to be great and maybe it won't, but WWE is really trying with this one and having Heyman work with Rousey proves that. If nothing else, Heyman could add that extra bit of flavour to the feud that creates a moment in history on Raw. A moment in history that everyone will remember and everyone will remember where they were when it happened.
#1 The payoff
Let's be honest here.
The WWE Universe wants to see Ronda Rousey whip Nikki Bella's ass and show The Fearless one why she made a mistake by crossing her. It's basically the same thing they did with Alexa Bliss and Ronda Rousey at Summerslam, but with, more of an underlining generational theme.
With that being said, WWE could also really elevate the match and the eventual beatdown by putting a stipulation on it, which will only serve to give Rousey an arsenal to unload on Bella with. Maybe Bella can get some shots in too and even get some help from her sister Brie, thus helping to make the match more believable!
Of course, fans can feel free to disagree, but watching Nikki Bella get whooped by Bella, especially after all the trash talking on Raw, is going to be a television-worthy event. In the end, Bella is the kind of heel that the fans love to hate and just the thought of her humiliating Nikki is enough to drive fans to watch this pay per view.
