10 Wrestlers Who NEED To Get Out Of WWE

2. Ronda Rousey

If everyone was being honest, Ronda Rousey's star power and name value outside the biz papers over a lot of cracks within it. She's never progressed in-ring following a promising few early matches, her mic work is downright awful at times, and Ronda herself never seems particularly content in pro wrestling.

Rousey has lashed out at wrestling fans more than once during podcasts or her own YouTube vids, and she seems very uncomfortable with the thought of being booed or told she sucks even when playing heel. Perhaps Ronda just won't "get" this rasslin' shindig overall, which is a real problem.

The bloom is off the rose for her as a star attraction anyway.

WWE has smartly placed her in the tag ranks alongside Shayna Baszler. That's a decent enough spot for both, but Rousey just looks like she'd be much happier doing something else with her life than tolerating wrestling crowds. That's how her performances come across - like she's putting up with everyone more than enjoying the experience.
