A: The "toldyaso" poo poo is lame, rovert. B: Is the full-time thing for Ronda a work? A half-truth (like she has a Lesnar deal) or is it legit?

Nope ESPN posted:”This is my life now,” Rousey told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. “First priority on my timeline for the next several years. This is not a smash-and-grab; this is not a publicity stunt. When I first met with Triple H, I told him, ‘There are other things I can do with my time that’ll make way more money, but I won’t enjoy nearly as much.’”

They managed to swerve the media on every aspect of this deal right up until about an hour before the show. Pretty impressive for WWE.

So the rumored plan for Ronda is Steph and Trips in a Mixed Tag match so her partner, looking at Raw's Roster, is either Cena (if he's not doing the Taker match) or Finn, I'd guess.

Gaz-L posted:Oh come on, we all knew she was in the match as soon as they said she was on the announce team, right? So, as a spoiler, did anyone else happen to notice that Steph is pretty okay as an announce team member? Likely because she doesn't have anyone yelling in her ear, but she was giving pretty okay color commentary and keeping her mouth shut for the most part.

She could have been a lot worse. She seemed to genuinely laugh at a couple of Corey’s jokes too which made her come across as kinda normal. Weird, I know.

She didn't add anything, but she didn't detract either so that's fine. Except when she "Whose side is he on?!"ed the Beth/Natalya bit.

Yeah I was kinda worried that she would be terrible on commentary but she was basically a nonentity. The female Tom Phillips perhaps

Yeah it is still Charlotte vs Ronda but obviously if WWE can get Rock they aren't going to turn it down especially with the TV negotiations and wanting to be as seen as culturally relevant as possible.

Storyline-wise, I think the most fitting partner for Rousey would be Rock, but I'm guessing his schedule is too full for that to be a possibility.

Yeah Rock hurt his shoulder in a match a few years ago that caused a production delay and his insurance doesn't allow it now. So he would have to be on a break from filming anything, and that hasn't been the case for 10 years.

Well, from the standpoint of Alexa being the best talkers of all the women her building up a match with Rhonda being an overconfident arrogant shithead about it and then getting her head kicked in at Mania to a big pop makes sense from that standpoint. Also if you move Asuka to Smackdown it'll be easier to keep her an unstoppable juggernaut longer by keeping her and Rousey on separate brands for awhile. Flair/Rousey is a much bigger marquee name, though, and I'd be surprised if WWE doesn't go with that. Daughter of one of the most legendary wrestlers of all time versus woman who put women's MMA on the map would draw more of the casual audience definitely.
