Ronda Rousey is in her second stint with the WWE after taking a hiatus following WrestleMania 35. She regained the SmackDown Women’s title after defeating Liv Morgan at Extreme Rules last month. In her second reign as champion, Rousey would be hoping to establish herself as a strong champion and has been accepting her more ‘heelish’ side recently. Her feud with Liv Morgan allowed her to tap into a more vicious side, and she looks comfortable in that role.

However, a lot of fans are not convinced by the former UFC Champion and have been voicing their displeasure. Fans are unhappy with how her reign has panned out and are already calling for a change.
This has led to many people taking it to social media to express how they feel about Rousey’s run as champion and they aren’t being nice about it.
Fans slam Ronda Rousey for her title reign
After Ronda Rousey won the title at Extreme Rules, fans had high hopes on WWE going all in with her the second time around. Although there have been slight tweaks to her character, the overall presentation of Rousey has remained the same.
Many people would’ve wanted high intensity from her and perhaps more credible opponents for her to go up against. But unfortunately, that hasn’t happened. She will defend her title against Shotzi at Survivor Series and the fans aren’t too pleased with this booking. They have also criticized The Rowdy One and have called for the title to be removed from her. According to many fans, she doesn’t bring anything of note to the division.

After WWE booked a tag team match next week on SmackDown, a fan called Rousey, Baszler’s lackey.
It only keeps her further away from the title. If anything. Ronda is shayna's lackey.

It seems fans have their fill of Ronda Rousey and want some sort of shake-up. For now, WWE may keep the belt on her until they get a bigger challenger for her. Some interesting feuds could help Rousey’s run as champion, but even then the fans may force WWE’s hand into giving them what they want. A feud against a returning Charlotte Flair or even a turn from Baszler could be the right way to go about things at the moment to fend off this fan anger.
