Ronda is a world champion in other sports, a legitimate badass and the biggest crossover star in the company. She has to be protected going into Wrestlemania and this was a good way to do it. Ruby will have other opportunities.

It sucks for Ruby, but it happens. If she got like a few moves in and another 2 minutes, I can't say it'd have made much of a difference when the point of the segment was always going to be what came after.

I mean, then have Becky interrupt the match, and then put Ronda over Riott in a real match on Raw. The match, as it was, made Riott look bad way more than it made Ronda look good, and the WWE has never figured out that's how this kind of thing always goes.

given the "oh by the way ruby is facing rousey at EC" way the match was put together in the first place I didn't expect much out of it. especially if ruby was there alone given how sarah/liv had the EC match itself. but she IS supposed to be the leader so you'd think they'd let her get a little offense in.
it's kinda funny how mandy and sonya who lost their leader are turning into more legitimate threats after losing their leader than the unit that is still intact. but fear not, i'm sure the riot squad will ambush say, renee at the announce desk and knock all her notes to the floor before heading out to lose a six woman tag match with rousey and boss and hug connection to redeem themselves as a threat

Yeah, when your own leader can’t hang with Ronda for more than thirty seconds, maybe it’s time to either reevaluate the group or break them up and get it over with.
The only reason I don’t want them to break up is because they finally built up some chemistry with one another, but they’re still booked like a bunch of goobers who lose all the time. That and I sadly don’t think they’ll give Liv or Sarah the time of day when it comes time to being solo acts.

Ruby deserved so much better than the booking of that match. Her winning right now wouldn't make any sense but what the f*** use is there in having her job out that hard? Why sign someone that talented then just not really use her like she's worth all that much? I guarantee it's her looks. If she was blonde with huge boobs and dressed like a stripper Barbie, she'd be a 12 time women's champion right now. Vince and Dunn are shallow as f***, especially with the women. I refuse to believe it's anything else. She's so f***ing talented.

I didn't expect the squash to be quite that squashy. Ronda made *her* look like Ellsworth.
I guess the idea was to make Ronda look strong before the crutch whooping. Just sucks that it had to be Ruby. She's good.

Same with AJ Lee, Lita, Nia, Sasha (despite her reigns), etc. I have no doubt that they’re sexist as there have been many stories that have proven this, but that just isn’t a fair thing to say when so many have broken through that barrier. Hell, Vince loves Becky and advocated for her winning the Rumble. Remember, for every Trish or Sable, there were many Summer Rae’s. Plus, people can change. And that includes Vince.

As much of a fan i am of hers, Ruby isnt going to amount to anything much other then a jobber to the stars. Its her look no doubt, hence why Vince is already looking to push Lacey to the moon.
Ruby is to unique and talented to be an afterthought. A face turn would ruin her even more as shes a natural heel so i hope they do something with her sooner then later. Or join AEW would be great.

Becky is still conventionally attractive, though. Same for AJ Lee, Lita, and Sasha Banks. And Nia has The Rock's blood so that's a guaranteed push no matter what these days. Ruby has more of a Luna Vachon vibe, which I find awesome but out of touch horn dogs likely feel otherwise.

I mean...what did people expect? The entire storyline was that ruby got a title shot because she was too much of a chickenshit to wrestle Ronda after Ronda had just had 2 matches. Seriously that was the angle. By that logic I’d argue that ruby was buried before the match, not during it. losing to Ronda doesn’t hurt and not every match needs to be 10-20 minutes.

I didn't notice it while watching the show, but Ruby had patches of the bands Exploited and Discharge on her pants.
Now I want her to have all the championships.

I feel the complete opposite. She's always been out of her element as a heel IMO, especially as a promo. I haven't seen her outside NXT/WWE, but going by her NXT work she was really natural as a face.

It went about as well as i think it should have.
Why the f*** was Ruby even in that match to begin with? She's done nothing, and I'm meant to care about this stop gap PPV title match? This was garbage.

Honestly, it was the best case scenario. No way Ronda was losing, might as well keep her strong going into Mania. It isnt like Ruby fell a long way with the loss.

Ruby was the fourth wheel in a one on one title match.
She never should have won but at least a longer squash?
