Since debuting, it only took Ronda Rousey six months to have a match on Raw. Her grueling full time schedule is sure to show that layabout, Brock Lesnar, what a work ethic looks like.
Seriously thought, who the f*** were they kidding when the WWE and Ronda herself claimed she would be doing this full time, just like anybody else? Sure, she's around more than Brock, but it's incredibly telling how little she wrestles to the point they had to assign her a proxy to get beat up in matches for her on a regular basis in Natalya.

To be fair, she's done a lot of house shows. It's also better than having her on every single week burning through matches.

She is also not a wrestler,so they have to rehearse her matches basically move by move.

I think it's wise at least for the time being, to keep Ronda out of the ring as much as possible on Raw. To help keep her as a special attraction on house shows and to boost PPVs/network specials when she wrestles on them.

I think they are doing a good job with Rousey.

I agree, less is more in Ronda's case. I'm enjoying her thoroughly.

I don't need to see her going 50/50 with Dana Brooke every week or getting pinned by distraction roll ups like every other woman. She still has the special gloss on her unlike ol' Brocky.

I don't mind having certain wrestlers, Brock included, being featured sparingly. Its when they hold the main title and TV is forced to exist without a champion for months on end when it becomes annoying.

I honestly see no issue with this at all. Having her in filler tags or ripping through the roster each and every week will kill her off straight away. Its smart booking.

She and WWE are doing fine. She still has the aura of a major attraction

I wish they did this with more people.
Matches with top stars on TV should be a big deal. It sells house shows, makes people tune in for those matches and gives the rest of the roster time on TV to develop. Do we really need to see Seth have a twenty minute match every week? And I say that as a guy who loves Seth.

This is kinda like Hogan back in the day, he did house shows, but you rarely ever saw him actually wrestle on shows like Superstars and such, usually clips from other shows

And I say that as a guy who loves Seth. That's pretty much how I see it. It doesn't even have to be as isolated as Ronda, just make things more meaningful and special which I don't think is THAT hard to do. |

They just shouldn't have announced her as full time. Especially because they had to sheepishly pull back after bragging that she would be on every RAW heading into Mania when she wasn't.
Don't be a f***ing liar, WWE. That's the moral of the story.

And I say that as a guy who loves Seth. Agreed 100%. They should decide on a core of stars and use them all like they’re using Ronda. It would give lower card talent more time on TV and they’d stop burning through all their PPV quality matches on Raw. |

She's still basically training up, right? Does the house shows? Is on an above average number of RAWS? I'd call that full time. It needn't be TV solely, more involvement with the company. ie unlike Brock.

She was also filming some movie stuff, and other than the suspension has been on TV pretty regularly, plus a good number of house shows. RAW matches SHOULD be rare for her.

They are doing great with her
She’s still learning on the job while doing house shows and her commitments outside of WWE so yes she is full time and frankly they should take this approach more with some of their wrestlers
