#1 Ronda Rousey stealing the spotlight

What happens after someone wins the 'Royal Rumble' match: the referee pulls the victor's hand above for victory; the fans cheer heavily (or boo heavily); the winner climbs the second rope, points their finger to the 'WrestleMania' symbol, and fireworks. However, after Asuka's victory, something else happened.

Before she could announce whom she would challenge at WrestleMania, Ronda Rousey appeared. While the idea of Rousey returning with a 'Rowdy' jacket is great, she shouldn't have stolen the spotlight from Asuka. WWE should have let that moment happen sometime later, like at Elimination Chamber or 24 hours later on raw.

It should have been Asuka pointing to a WrestleMania symbol to end the pay-per-view; it should have been Asuka headlining sports magazines as the first ever winner of women's Royal Rumble match, and definitely, not Ronda Rousey.
