11. A Tweak From Badass Hero To Badass Villain For Ronda Rousey

It honestly cannot be understated just how compelling Ronda Rousey's first WWE run really was from start to finish.

Before she was being royally botched and fumbled in the time post-Royal Rumble 2022 comeback, Ronnie enjoyed an electric start to life as a pro wrestler, producing magic alongside Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 34.

She'd then embark on a superb few months as an unstoppable babyface, dominating all who stood in her way as the MMA badass eventually got her hands on Raw Women's Championship gold.

It didn't matter that she wasn't the strongest on the mic: Rousey's unpredictable and often explosive work on it still made for captivating television.

And when the fans did inevitably decide they'd had enough of the predictably dominant 'Baddest Woman on the Planet' routine after her Survivor Series battle with Charlotte Flair, all of the above was eventually, seamlessly, used for a p*ssed off badass role instead.

Rousey's unpredictable eruptions on the stick worked a treat as the out of control badass champ, and the same could be said for her equally mesmerising beatdowns. 

Changing very little about her overall character, Ronda went from fiery hero to chaotic villain by finally rejecting the fans who had turned on her.
