Most tuning into MITB probably thought Ronda Rousey was going to rush back into the ring and rip Liv Morgan's limb off with an arm bar. Instead, the deposed SmackDown Women's Champion shook Liv's hand, gave her the belt, hugged her and then left like she was doing her best Hulk Hogan at 'Mania VI impression.

Watch this space.

Rousey's attitude towards pro wrestling and the people who follow it makes her ripe for a heel run. That's something WWE has never really tried with the ex-UFC star, so it'd be worth trying on a turn just to see how it pans out. Being honest, this could be the jolt Ronda's pro career needs.

A heel Rousey gunning for Liv makes sense, especially when Morgan capitalised on Ronda's exhaustion and injured leg to take her strap. Fans went daft for that, which is also something a ticked off Rousey can cling to in spiteful promos.
