Survivor Series: WarGames came to a fantastic close. The Bloodline picked up their victory over The Brawling Brutes, McIntyre, and KO. Besides that, the card also featured some very exciting matches. However, only a few lived up to their expectations.
The SmackDown Women’s Championship match between Ronda Rousey and Shotzi lacked the hype and buzz required. Ronda Rousey’s in-ring talent and mic skills left fans unimpressed.

The match between these two stalwarts, Rousey and Shotzi, also failed to impress the fans. While Shotzi was built as the underdog, it was she who carried the entire match along. Her match at Survivor Series left the fans wanting more.
The entire match was filled with awkward spots, ring-rust, slow-paced action, and botches. Besides that, during the bout, there was a spot involved where Shotzi would grab Rousey on the apron, and give Rousey a DDT on the apron.

However, things did not go according to plan. And both Shotzi and the former UFC Bantamweight Champion missed their spot and had a hard landing on the floor. Fans were left extremely disappointed as to how could Rousey still be the champion, after a string of such disappointing performances and boring promos.

However, the spot shocked the fans to their core and left them questioning the dominance of the champion. While Shotzi was in her first big match, the Rowdy one has been giving a lot of bad performances lately. As soon as the spot came on the internet, fans were quick to react to it.

Botches are often a regular part of a wrestling match. However, it is on the wrestler to manage a botch, and make it seem normal. Often, wrestlers hide their botches so well that they go unnoticed. However, during this match, both the awkward spots and botch were quite evident.
Fans quickly took to the internet to react to the horrible botch by the two superstars.

Shotzi carried Ronda in this match. It’s a shame that Ronda caused that botch on the apron. Shotzi needs more of a push to have a “believable” chance of winning the belt. Ronda needs more mic skills training and learn when to shut up during matches.

That was a cringe of a match to watch

However, fans were constantly complaining about the quality of the match, and how uncomfortable it was to watch.
That was the one of the worst matches ever, and an embarrassment for the @WWE.

I can’t believe people were actually blaming Shotzi for this spot and the match. You can really tell the ones who actually watch the show. Ronda is bad and Shotzi isn’t good enough to carry a match. This division needs Becky to be champ so bad rn. She elevates everybody.

WWE Fans even compared how Liv Morgan had sold Shotzi’s move.
Meanwhile looks how beautifully Liv sold the same. And yet people blamed Liv for her title reign pic.twitter.com/DEDIsYqdWc

Ronda.exe has stopped working.

Feel like Triple H doesn’t know who to make champion, I love him but in the women’s division he only cares about Damage CNTRL😂

Because of her name & her accolades outside of @WWE. She’s a marketable name.
Bottom line is @ShotziWWE , even @QoSBaszler carried that match. It had to go outside because @RondaRousey only has 2-3 moves, and still stiff in the ring. It’s uncomfortable to watch.#SurvivorSeries
