3 Startling mistakes RAW is making with Ronda Rousey and The Riott Squad

In what was nothing more than a glorified squash match at the WWE's Elimination Chamber PPV a few days back, Ronda Rousey successfully defended her WWE RAW Women's Championship against Ruby Riott.

Rousey was so very dominant in her performance that despite Ruby -- the leader of The Riott Squad -- being a formidable challenger in her own right, the match was incredibly one-sided and left us wanting something different from the RAW Women's Title picture.

#3 Ruby Riott doesn't deserve to be treated like a jobber

Ruby Riott mustn't be treated like a jobber

In their WWE RAW Women's Championship match at the Elimination Chamber PPV, Ronda Rousey absolutely destroyed Ruby Riott in 1 minute and 40 seconds; successfully defending her title. Rousey squashing Riott in this fashion understandably resulted in several fans as well as experts claiming that the match could've been booked differently.

It goes without saying that Riott's brand value took a huge hit, because not only did she get obliterated by Rousey, but also failed to get even a minuscule amount of success throughout the feud.

This is undoubtedly a very important error that the WWE must correct, or else Riott -- in spite of being a highly talented performer -- will be reduced to nothing more than an enhancement talent on RAW. Furthermore, all the work that Triple H put in towards building Riott's on-screen character in NXT would go to waste.

#2 Ronda Rousey cannot fight everybody at the same time!

Ronda Rousey can't fight everybody simultaneously

Let me ask you guys an honest question here: Do you remember when 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin used to take on the entire WWE heel roster during the height of his popularity in the Attitude Era. Austin, in his rivalry with WWE boss Mr. McMahon, would often find himself fighting several villainous foes simultaneously.

While we could perhaps choose to exercise the suspension of disbelief on our part, even in Austin's case, it'd have felt odd if the babyfaces on the roster in the Attitude Era didn't help Austin against the heels.

Now, the fact that Rousey is constantly portrayed as a superhuman force who's not only feuding with The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan & Liv Morgan) all by her lonesome but also with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch; is downright absurd!

The WWE needs to bring a definitive end to Rousey's rivalry with The Riott Squad. Here's hoping that they only focus on Rousey's feud with Flair and Lynch in the weeks to come, rather than revisiting the Rousey vs. Riott rivalry...However, that brings me to.

#1 The Ronda Rousey vs. Ruby Riott rivalry needs to end with Riott getting the respect she deserves

Ruby Riott (far right) deserves to be accorded the respect that she's earned over the years

Alright, I'd like to clarify that by no means am I insinuating that the WWE could book Ruby Riott to defeat Ronda Rousey for the latter's WWE RAW Women's Championship. However, what the company could do is at least ensure that Riott gets some sort of offense on Rousey before the feud comes to an end.

That, in turn, would help Riott save face and preserve her devil-may-care attitude and brash image. After all, when you're the leader of a group named 'The Riott Squad', you do need a certain level of notoriety in order to be taken seriously by the WWE Universe.

A fitting end to the Rousey vs. Riott feud, would be for The Riott Squad to end their program with a sneak attack on Rousey that sees Rousey left beaten and battered -- with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch standing tall and engaging in a stare-down with one another over the fallen Rousey.
