She’s certainly interesting, but the division is being booked into oblivion so it’s hard to say there’s much to be excited about long term.

The build up to the Wrestlemania match was a mess (especially the “I’m gonna beat you up for real!” Twitter stuff) but I enjoyed literally every match of hers so I’m up for it.
Yeah, the meta-shoot stuff with her and Becky wasn't a good choice of direction and went right off the rails (plus then their sequences in the WM 35 match were underwhelming and 'punch punch punch attempt armbar punch punch' didn't fit the build whatsoever). At least the build did have that glorious go-home Raw brawl.

They've been trying to get Ronda back since she had that kid. This is just another article about it.

Meltzer says she's on the books for Mania, she could be back as soon as the rumble. Awesome! A little unexpected, thought she would wait another year.

I'll believe it when I see it. Even then, I expect it to last as long as she can handle rejection.

I am somewhat interested in a Ronda vs. Asuka match admittedly.

I am somewhat interested in a Ronda vs. Asuka match admittedly. You say that now, but considering Asuka's booking from right before she left, it wouldn't be good. If anything, it would probably border a squash at this point, in Ronda's favor. Also with Ronda complaining about how the fans were ungrateful to her, and how the women in the locker room are all horrible people to her, I can't imagine she will last long at all if she comes back. This also brings up another point of WWE refusing to do anything with their women in NXT right now. And then things would get really ugly if they started releasing people simply to pay for her contract. Because I don't think she's getting paid right now since her deal is probably frozen. It also doesn't help that Ronda didn't exactly move the needle like WWE hoped it would either.

From a wrestling perspective, she did a great job for someone with no prior wrestling experience. But from a personal perspective, that's a hard pass.

Hopefully, she comes back. The womens division has gone downhill without her.

Who wouldn't want to watch them try to get the fans boo Becky against Ronda?

Here's where the problem lies. Will the WWE Universe accept her finally as the big babyface star or are they going to sabotage the Becky feud, trying to do a double turn yet again? As long as she stays clear of Becky I think she does fine. Dream matches against IO, Rhea, Bianca, Doudrop to name a few. They did accept her as the big babyface star. She was over as a face right up until the Becky stuff started.

Hopefully, she comes back. The womens division has gone downhill without her. Due to bad booking. Vince has had 3 years to build a division and failed big time. The only new star that was made was Bianca and she jobbed to small crowd Becky in 10 seconds which killed Biancas push. Amazing that WWE has cut a ton a great female wrestlers due to "budget cuts" but has found money to get Ronda to spike a rating for 1 show. I cant wait to see the womens roster job to her in 2 minutes every week. That is par for the course.

Ronda's not coming back until she's perfected her time machine

I loved her first run but she needs to be a heel and it could go really poorly if they try to match her up as one against Charlotte or Becky.

….she’s 34. What generation does she think she’s in? wasn;t she the one calling becky the Millenial man when becky was two days older than rousey or something like that?

If they toss Bianca aside just to do this, I don’t want to hear the “let it play out” excuse again.
