Is Ronda Rousey A Heel?

[The Rick Jericho]

Based on the events tonight and moving forward.

I figure she's going to be doing the, "Self-absorbed jerk who you're supposed to cheer for being a badass," thing like Charlotte and Becky are. And hey, why not, that turn has revitalized both of their careers.

Agree and why the f*** not have it this way!?

[Slanted and Enchanted]

I think all three of them are gray at this point.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Probably not, but she pretty much is with the way she carries herself and speaks on and off screen.

[Final Countdown Jones]

Hard to tell until she's cut a promo, because WWE often enjoys its unlikable faces.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Lynch and Flair both had receipts coming for the bloody invasion beatdown (Lynch) and Survivor Series (Flair) respectively.

[Deleted]

She will be now.

The company possibly thinking that she's going to stay face against Becky and Charlotte of all people? Nah bruh. She basically did the "Wyatt pushes Reigns off the ladder" thing from years ago.

[Deleted]

She owed Charlotte/Becky receipts so I don't think so from a character standpoint. She'll probably get booed over the other two but she was justified in attacking them.

I just hate the beauty pageant smile walking to the ring, then only act serious when ring announcements start.

Yea, begins and ends there

Nah. She’ll be like their past top faces and be booed to hell but as a babyface. And to be fair, she owes both of them receipts due to what they did to Ronda respectively. Why not attack them at once?

[Hobby Drifter]

She’s halfway between a face and a heel. So she’s an ass.

[Deleted]

Voted No ONLY because she is not MEANT to be a heel.

However, she still absolutely is.

[Cela]

It's very confusing. Her entrance and matches are very face. Her promos are pretty heelish. Her walk is very stupid.

As for tonight, it was getting revenge on two people who attacked her. She left Asuka alone. So, kind of a face move. Weirdly there was also a similar thing by Ziggler, and all the faces beat down a defenseless Corbin, so who knows what we're supposed to believe?

[Perfect Timing]

Not after that crossbody.

[karl100589]

I think she'll be a heel in the vein of Cena; not formally turn her, but recognise she's gonna be less popular in a Becky/Charlotte program.

In many ways though a Ronda heel turn would make sense in kayfebe. Ronda sees herself as the perfect, old-school babyface; she plays by the rules, looks out for her friends, fights through adversity and tries to send a positive message to the audience. The fact she's spoken about being a wrestling fans since she was a kid helping add to that. So when someone who represents the inverse (self-serving, duplicitous etc) gets cheered over her it must be jarring, and she'd be justified in holding it against the fans.

Very similar to Bret vs Austin in 1997.

[Pushed to the Moon]

It was a justifiable attack but if this is the start of the feud with Becky moving to Raw then there's no way she's getting cheered over her so they should turn her. I doubt they will though.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

If she's not supposed to she has done a terrble job selling herself as a face.

[Moppy]

She absolutely should be.

Crowds are going to turn on her soon enough anyway, just go ahead and make her full-on heel. She doesn't deserve to lose the title, and unless you find her a WM opponent that isn't called Becky, Asuka, or Charlotte, she'll be booed soon enough, so what other option is there? Just double-down on heel Ronda.
