10 Biggest WWE Talking Points Coming Out Of Royal Rumble 2018
1. Ronda Rousey
Though the segment that introduced her as a full-time WWE roster member was confusing and ambiguous, there's no doubt that Ronda Rousey provided the Royal Rumble's biggest talking point.
This introduction had been rumoured for months, but most assumed it would come during the Rumble itself, not a post-match segment. Regardless, the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion broke the internet last night. Her arrival is huge, huge news, and her mainstream popularity means that she's already one of the company's biggest stars. If her run catches on, and she becomes even a passable worker, there's a strong chance she eventually surpasses everyone else in the company, particularly if she sticks around for her multi-year contract's duration.
Make no mistake, this is a massive get for WWE. Her MMA reputation lies broken, but Ronda is still a legitimate celebrity, and here mere presence should help draw countless new eyes to WWE programming. At a time when ratings remain stuck in quicksand and the company's TV rights will soon be up for renewal, she's a fantastic asset to have. Expect an immediate monster push as WWE seek to reap the full benefits of having a genuine international superstar on their roster.
