#2 Ronda Rousey Is The New RAW Women's Champion...(And?)

Ronda Rousey is a UFC Hall of Famer

Sure, Ronda Rousey is the new RAW Womens' Champion. Once again, many fans thought that Alexa Bliss should have gotten some offense in.

To some extent, that should have happened. But then again, Alexa Bliss essays the role of a cowardly heel who only relies on cheap tricks to win her matches. Whereas Ronda Rousey is an ex-UFC fighter and an MMA legend who is capable of 'breaking arms' and laying a legitimate beat-down on her opponents.

So yes, when you put them together side-by-side, it makes all the sense for Bliss to get obliterated by the wrecking machine that is 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey. That is what happened at SummerSlam.

Alexa Bliss ran out of tricks, and she paid the price for it.

Instead of opting for fan-service, they decided to make Ronda look way too dominant. Moreover, contrary to popular opinion, I do not think that this hurts Alexa's credibility at all. Because technically, she is a heel, and she got what heels truly deserve, that is, the ultimate thrashing of their lives.
