Ronda should win in 15 seconds just to piss off everyone that likes to bitch but continue to watch anyway.

They should give Nia Jax the gimmick of George The Animal Steele where she eats the turnbuckle, but instead of them being filled with white stuffing, they are filled with cheeseburgers

What's more of a danger to Ronda, a MITB match or a Nia Jax match?

The only way Nia could be any worse is if they have her talk with an English/Irish accent

The entire female roster should interfere, leading Ronda to run through them all until Mania

I had a random thought: Given that Nia has reportedly played the nepotism card to get more opportunities in NXT, given her random absence a while back (she says injury...ok), her inability to deal with fans on Twitter, and her general suck levels -- I wonder if Nia has decided this isn't for her? Am I being too hopeful?
If she said to Vince "You know what? I'm a few years in and I just don't get this. I'm going to go and start playing netball or designing plus-sized bathing suits," they may have sped up plans to get the belt off her and move Ronda into star position. This would be compounded by the "Fuck, our television sucks, so how do we appeal to USA" predicament. |

I'm loving Ronda, and her shit looks great, but you can already see the patterns developing. How many times are people going to be able to see that before it's not special?

There was a lot of her clearly anticipating the next spot, which was awkward. She should be fine though.
Still not sure how all of this is gonna work out in a match with Nia. |

God, I hope Nia doesn't kill her. NBC should hold off on that TV deal for a few weeks...

Needs to get shorts that don't ride up on her. She was constantly fiddling with them.

I suspect this booking might be to punish Nia for "ragdolling" her opponents.
Vince: "Hey, Nia -- you want to work stiff? You're working with Rousey!" Nia: "Whatever you want, Vince! But make-sure the announcers say I 'walk,' not 'waddle,' to the ring." |

I don't like it for lots of reason
1. Ronda is to new, feels rushed 2. Why give Ronda her first shot at a B PPV, at least wait til Summerslam 3. Nia is horrible in the ring, Ronda should be in there was Ring Generals 4. Isn't Nia supposed to be the Be a Star babyface? So either fans back her and you already put Ronda on the Roman Boo Path, or... 5. You are already giving up on Nia as a face, in which case why the fuck did you move Asuka to Charlotte and end her streak. I don't swear often, but that is the most shortsighted booking maybe ever. 6. In all likelihood this is probably gonna be a cop out finish to protect Ronda but keep the belt with Nia, and haven't we seen enough of that with A.J. and Shinsuke already. 7. Do they really want to follow-up the Horrible Backlash PPV with another badly booked show that only accomplishes letting the fans down 8. Vince is worth like $2billion now, not that it has anything to do with this match specifically, but he probably listens to anybody else's opinion now less than ever before so he might actually have Roman save Ronda from something, cause gotta get Roman over |

I thought the same of Bobby Lashley, although his might be because his sisters got him drunk and had laser hair removal performed on his bikini area cause "love my family, pranksters!", causing his trunks to slip up his skin more easily.

WWE should rebrand her as Slobbersaurus Jax and get with the Jurassic World marketing team to promote the movie

Personally I'd have Nia beat her clean and quick.
Turn Rousey's story into one where everyone assumed she'd come in and clean up but actually the WWE is tougher than it looks. Spend the next year having her build her way up and start to show her "natural talent". Gives her some more natural feuds, stops it being as predictable and prevents the WWEs natural instinct to feed midcarders to people they want to build by putting her into stories where there can be actual competition and the occasional loss. Not going to happen though. |

Nah. The appeal of Rousey is that she's already credible. Intentionally ruining that credibility just to try to build her back up defeats the whole purpose of signing her in the first place. Not to mention leaving it up to WWE's writers to build someone up as credible is just a REALLLLY bad idea.

Losing to Cena isn't the same thing as losing to Nia.
Also didnt Brock destroy Cena the first time? |

That's Awesome Kong (TNA ring name), aka Kharma as she was known in WWE. She beat up a few divas and gave like one promo where she basically said she was pregnant but wanted to compete in WWE, which never happened. A while later she ended up in GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) where she had the "Welfare Queen" gimmick that STD joked about. I've never seen any of her stuff aside from the millisecond she was in WWE, so I couldn't tell you what it was about.

I didn't say they WOULDN'T do it. It would just be silly to do it. But let's not pretend that Brock losing in a match he dominated to Cena is remotely the same as Rousey getting squashed by Nia Jax.

Rousey should just make everyone she faces submit and also carry their arms over her shoulders during every entrance.
