Bengaluru, June 6: Ronda Rousey moved to the WWE earlier this year as a marquee superstar. The only other star who made the move from the mainstream world of UFC was Brock Lesnar before Rousy's arrival. WWE wanted to build her as the female version of the Universal Champion to make a similar huge name in the women's division.
However, if WWE had executed that plan, it would have backfired on them. Being such a huge name and coming from the MMA background, the fans did not expect her to be seen on Raw so regularly. They believed she will take the same path as the Beast incarnate and be involved in limited capacity which would have made them turn against the company.
But that wasn't the case, Ronda Rousey has been seen in almost all the episodes of WWE Raw. She got her first title opportunity due to her commitment to the WWE. Nia Jax challenged her for the title at the bygone NBC Universal Upfronts event, where the pair were there to represent the company.
