SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
The Ronda Rousey return to WWE isn’t off to a scorching start. WWE officials were forced to meet with Rousey following her uninspired promo in the main event segment of last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that officials pulled Rousey aside for a discussion after a negative reaction from fans. The report indicates that Rousey is still upset at the way fans reacted to her near the end of her first run in 2019. On this week’s episode of Smackdown, Rousey confirmed that she will be facing Charlotte Flair for the WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania. Rousey won the 2022 women’s Royal Rumble match and earned a WrestleMania championship match against the champion of her choosing.

So maybe she’s not the best talker in the business, so what? Get her a mouthpiece then like they have for Lashley and Reigns. It took Lesnar about 5 years before he even said a word and about 10+ before he cut any promos, and he’s still more entertaining in that regard when he has Heyman there to do it for him.
