Ronda Rousey made an impression in the UFC as the ‘Baddest Woman on the Planet’. However, when she made her WWE debut, the company hailed her as a babyface, as she was a fan favorite.
Surprisingly, things have changed right now as Rousey is a heel. The WWE Universe recently saw the heelish nature of the ‘Rowdy One’ in her match against the returning Emma.

Furthermore, the wrestling community was also upset for ruining Emma’s WWE return.
Classic wwe to bring back a wwe womens wrestler just to lose the night of their return. Especially since Ronda likes to now make desperate moves. They need to bring back Sasha or charlotte flair just to shut her up. As much as I don’t like charlotte.

What is next for the ‘Rowdy One’ in WWE?
Rousey defeated Liv Morgan at Extreme Rules Premium Live Event earlier this month to win the SmackDown Women’s title for the second time. Post the win, there is no major storyline planned by WWE for her.

However, at Extreme Rules, WWE showed vignettes of Charlotte Flair returning to WWE. Maybe both the stars will resume their rivalry once The Queen arrives on SmackDown. It’s still unclear when Flair will be back on WWE TV, but we can speculate, she will go after Rousey for the title.
