Why does she have to be long-winded babyface? Just make her an ass kicker who says very little. She’s getting Cena/Reigns’d And the company is the one who does this. ...actually, yes. Becky is willing to fight, but she's also a shit-talker. Just have Becky do promos while Ronda says nothing at all while snapping jobber arms all over the place. Men, women, other wrestlers, catering staff. And she could even not give a shit about getting her hands on Becky before Mania, she's convinced she knows how it'll go and is just waiting until the time comes. Patience, unlike Becky, whose gimmick involves being hotheaded and going after shit she wants NOW. Ronda has the bad ass factor and if they just had her breaking arms like Pentagon and just staring down Becky that would work better to make this shit 50/50. Let Becky talk all the shit she want and all Ronda got to say the Raw before Mania is i'm going to break your arm and i'm going to break your face bitch and she just leaves while Becky is talking. Hell, just show Ronda training every week in the gym while Becky is talking shit and that can go a long way

^Shayna is amazing. She has so much more fire in her presentation than Ronda does. Ronda needs to tap into that. I don't mind Ronda's character as it is now. I don't think it's really that what she is isn't working, because her schtick had been working quite well until Becky entered her life. I think the key is just understanding that Ronda is not gonna have the fans on this one. I don't believe Ronda needs any drastic change in character, you can keep her consistent to what she's been up to now. I think their best bet is for her to gradually heel up, but even if they just keep her babyface traits, just don't go full Roman Reigns and practically beg fans to cheer her. They're doing alright with it so far but I just hope they don't start getting too panicky about it.

Thank God Ronda finally realized that she and Becky are the same age She comes to the horrifying realization that all this time she was the millennial man.
The rants against herself are still going two days later.

Ronda is an emotional basket case. She can't handle when her image is stripped down. Holly Holm beating her apparently almost drove her to suicide she was that devastated over her image being rocked. And yes, that's awful, but now she's dealing with that again in WWE and it is pretty apparent she has not grown as a person since... Shawn Michaels and others like Jim Cornette will tell you to USE THAT in promos and storylines. That nervous energy, that realness let the crowd see how much it gets to you when they boo you, and you endear yourself (as a heel, or oftentimes you somehow turn face after a few weeks) the key is not to put up a fake front while you're on the main stage. Cena does it well against a hostile crowd, probably the best on the roster-- Charlotte and Sasha were bad at first but are probably the two best women at taking hostile crowds and still having a great performance. Ronda will get there with experience too, I'm sure. It's still a pretty long road to WM so she has time to get used to being the bitch-- sorry baddest bitch

Ronda never had thick skin. She handled it better than I expected of her.(which is still not good) But damn, the crowd booed the WHOLE time she talked, havent seem such huge heat in a long time. This. She was like that in the ufc too. When the fans turned on her after tuf, she didn’t knew how to handle it. Then after the press started to criticize her for losing, she stopped giving interviews.

She definitely needs some help handling hostile crowds, 'cause it ain't gonna get any easier from here on out. She may have picked up the actual wrestling thing quick, but it takes performers years to feel comfortable in front of a crowd to be able to do a good and fluent promo. They just keep throwing her to the wolves

Did you seriously just compare this to Rock-Hogan??? I’ve seen it compared to Hogan/Rock and HBK/Taker and I have no idea how people can even think of it that way outside of both taking place at Wrestlemania. I think the Rock-Hogan comparison is reasonably apt. Not that Lynch or Rousey are on their level, but Hogan and Rock were never exactly "workrate guys", and Hogan by 2002 was past his prime to boot. But the image of those two guys in the ring and the atmosphere of the audience was electric so even if the match wasn't a 5-star match by the workrate standard, it still holds up as an incredible spectacle to watch without adding a third person. The audience during the face-to-face confrontation on Raw had a very similar atmosphere, I felt.
