The Baddest Woman on the Planet Ronda Rousey was recently fined and suspended after attacking an official following her match against Liv Morgan at Summer Slam 2022. She invaded the SmackDown brand while under suspension and was recently involved in a confrontation with Adam Pearce on the latest episode of the Friday Night SamckDown.
On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed about Ronda Rousey’s current booking in WWE. He stated that the idea is for her to be a heel since she’s seen as a babyface at the shows by fans.
“No, the idea is to get her to be a heel. The idea is to get her to be a heel. Here’s the thing. The idea for Ronda Rousey actually is to get her to be what she was before which is to break out of the pack, mainline woman Superstar. Not just a woman on the roster who is below [Bianca] Belair and all that, which she kind of was becoming,” said Meltzer. [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
Dave Meltzer also further stated that the WWE wants her to be an special attraction along the lines of Brock Lesnar.
“They want to get her back to ‘special attraction, big Brock Lesnar star.'”
Dave Meltzer also stated that WWE wants to elevate The Rowdy Ronda Rousey to be a “big big star” and the company seemingly don’t mind if she ends up being a babyface in the process.
“So that’s the goal of what they’re doing right now. The belief was that at the end, because she’s [facing] Liv Morgan, [Ronda] ends up as a heel. What they’re doing now isn’t necessarily to make her a heel, it’s to make her a big big star. If she ends up being a babyface from this, that’s fine too.”
