5 reasons why it is a bad idea for the WWE to get Ronda Rousey now

Is Ronda WWE bound?

#4 Problem for the creatives

Real fights v/s fake fights

Barring the last two bouts that she fought, Ronda had a top-notch record, polarising her as one of the toughest fighters to grace the sport of mixed martial arts.

Trained in judo and wrestling, Rousey has a repertoire that makes her a legit grappler, something that would be hard to intertwine with the chair shots, lower-blows and other netherworldly antics of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

Remember how Kurt Angle was booed during his debut when he squared off against Shawn Stasiak (from Planet Stasiak)? Kurt’s Greco-Roman style of wrestling wasn’t well received by the WWE Universe, forcing him to change direction and adhere to what was tried and tested.

It would be quite an arduous task for the World Wrestling Entertainment creatives to involve Rousey in storylines where she’s beaten. Moreover, would Ronda Rousey and her badass ego be willing to adapt to the pro wrestling industry?

There are quite a few causes of concern that need to be ironed out before there’s an agreement between Rousey and the show business.

Ideally, Ronda could be sold as a dominant force and her run can be similar to Brock Lesnar’s, but that would eventually go stale if there’s no one to compete against her.
