5 Issues WWE may face if Ronda Rousey leaves WWE after WrestleMania 35

#2 Who can claim the spotlight from Rousey?

Not everyone is a fan of Ronda Rousey's monopoly over the RAW Women's Division. But the fact of the matter is that she's taken charge of the brand and she has been the leader who's led the women to the next level. Someone else will have to assume the same role if Ronda Rousey goes away.

Ronda Rousey vs. Nikki Bella main evented Evolution because they are the two biggest stars in the division at the moment. A women's only pay-per-view may lack the star power to sell out the arena without Ronda Rousey being featured in the bill. Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Ruby Riott just aren't big enough names.

Could WWE split up Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch and have them on two separate brands? Of course, they could but each individual brand may suffer as a result of their absence, leading to declining viewership.
