John Cena's last PPV's name revealed by Kurt Angle? More details HERE

Without a doubt, Ronda Rousey is the Ken Shamrock of the women's division. Just like Ken, she had a very successful MMA career before coming over to the wrestling business. Just like Ken, she is built up as the most dangerous woman on the planet. Unlike Ken, however, Ronda Rousey has managed to obtain a larger-than-life status both inside and outside the squared circle.

She's a notable figure in modern sports, up there with the likes of LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo and Serena Williams. She's helped bring WWE into the mainstream just by being there, so it would make sense that you'd put the women's title on her right? Well....

Here's the thing: As popular as Ronda is, and as good as she is in the ring despite not even having a year's worth of wrestling experience, she is still just a rookie at the end of the day. It is ill-advised to put such an important title on someone who barely knows what they're doing in the ring.

I know it'd be a major talking point in the media, and the press they would get would be great for business, but it would be nothing short of a spit in the face to the rest of the locker room if you give someone like her an opportunity to be RAW Women's Champion before women like Ember Moon or Alicia Fox. WWE goes on and on about the "Women's Evolution", so they need to show they mean it by rewarding their women for tenure and hard work, not for popularity. Ronda's good, but she's not that good. Not yet, at least.

Plus, she's scared of bats. That's not championship material, if you ask me?
