#5 She can't play the heel

The moment the audience turns against her...will Ronda Rousey still thrive?

One of the major reasons why Ronda Rousey issued the media boycott at UFC 200, as per her camp at least, was that she felt they had turned against her.

If you're a public figure, scrutiny from all quarters is inevitable.

Ronda Rousey embraced it when the media was singing her praises when she was winning fights. The moment she lost, and the criticism started pouring in, she couldn't deal with it anymore.

How is she, then, going to deal with backstage heat, heat from the audience, borderline shoot promos that cut really close to the bone and an audience whose cheers can turn into boos in a drop of a dime in the WWE?

And as we've seen with Roman Reigns...the WWE Universe is pretty merciless in exploiting even the slightest show of weakness in a Superstar.

So can the WWE sign her and continue to keep booking her as a babyface till she decides to call it a day?

And what if she gets booed even then?

I don't know about you. But from where I'm standing right now, the decision to sign Ronda Rousey seems to have more cons than pros.

But hey, stranger things have happened before. And here's to genuinely hoping that I'm wrong about this.
