14 Reasons Ronda Rousey Would Excel In WWE

WWE should move heaven and Earth to sign her in 2015.

Lets just get this out of the way first: UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is under contract to the world's biggest MMA promotion, and there's no sign of that changing any time soon. However, she's known to be a huge pro wrestling fan, takes her nickname, "Rowdy," from the one and only Hot Rod, has turned up backstage at a major WWE event, has been in the live audience, and talks pro wrestling every change she gets. For a women with a huge amateur and professional sports background, it's almost comical how much she appears to love the stuff of the WWE - but that almost makes her more awesome as a fan. Just imagine, then, what it would be like to have her in the WWE's squared circle. Who would she face? Who would she align with? How would she fare? Well, Rousey recently talked about wanting to be a heel in the WWE, which makes sense: she's slowly become something of a heel in the world of mixed martial arts for some of her antics on The Ultimate Fighter and post-fight in the octagon (though she was cheered for a change in her last fight). That would be the natural route. Who would she align with? The Shield offered her an invite, but they're obviously defunct, so who does that leave? If she's a heel, might she team up with Seth Rollins? What about the Diva's division? Would Rousey even care, or would she go straight into the mix with the top guys? Lets face it, she'd crush any of the Divas (maybe Paige could be an exception, in a scripted program?). In any case, lets take a look at fourteen reasons Ronda Rousey would be a huge success in the WWE.
