8 Best WWE Heel Turns (Where The Wrestler Changed Nothing)

In terms of making an immediate impact in the wrestling business, few can match Ronda Rousey.

Sure, Ronda has her fair share of detractors - and her public comments often don't help the matter - but Rousey went from having one of the greatest in-ring debuts of all-time to just a year later being the key reason that a WrestleMania was headlined by a women's match.

That's not to say that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair weren't important factors in that WrestleMania 35 main event, but the truth of the matter is that WWE likely wouldn't have had the women close at the Showcase of the Immortals unless Rousey was involved.

By the time that her solitary year with the company was over, Ronda had transitioned from ass-kicking babyface to ass-kicking heel. Like the rest of the superstars featured on this list though, the MMA icon changed very little about her persona during this switch.

Rousey's entire time with WWE was spent brutalising opponents, running her mouth, and just being an all-out dominant badass. The thing that changed for Ronda, was that the fans became tired of her consistent dominance and her oft-erratic mic skills. Not to mention, Beckly Lynch embarked on a natural, organic rise to become the most popular act in the company.

For Ronda Rousey's part, she changed absolutely nothing about her from the moment she first walked into the WWE, to the very last time we saw her in a ring.
