8 Biggest Mysteries Still Surrounding WrestleMania 34

3. Is Ronda Ready?

To say that Ronda Rousey's WWE performances have been inconsistent would be a gross understandable. Her smiley-happy debut and awkward Elimination Chamber promo didn't resonate, denting the pure menace that drips from the former UFC Champion whenever that scowl colours her features. It'll take a lot more than that to shatter the illusion of her as the baddest woman in WWE, and these imperfections can be attributed to inexperience, but they can't be ignored.

As things stand, there's no way of telling how she'll fare between the ropes. MMA to wrestling is often an easy transition, as proven by the likes of Shayna Baszler and Matt Riddle, but success is by no means guaranteed. There's every chance she'll falter, and this would be a grand disaster not only for her and the company as a whole.

WWE will protect Ronda. Kurt Angle and Triple H will do the heavy lifting, and the armbar specialist's night will likely revolve around chasing Stephanie McMahon across the ring, then trying to take her limb off. Regardless, it'd be great to see more from Rousey, and if she adapts as quickly as her friend, Baszler, WWE will have an even grander asset on their hands.
