When creating WWE's historic and one-of-a-kind pay-per-view television, Nikki and Rousey were the target of much criticism for the most important main event in the history of the women's division. . Rousey was criticized for being a "rookie" of professional wrestling who was too new in the sector to be able to occupy the main niche of such a groundbreaking event. Nikki, meanwhile, was termed "product of the time of the Divas" and someone who should not be the main event in Evolution because there were better performers on the ring who deserved more this opportunity.
But Nikki and Rousey have silenced Evolution's enemies.
Rousey may have had the best game of her young career, while the underrated Nikki, who was confused with her sister Brie because of Brie's recent fondness for botching, has nevertheless performed well in the ring since her return at the game earlier this year. as well as. While the character work of the Bella Twins and, to a lesser extent, Rousey's can sometimes be downright silly, but on the biggest stage in the history of the WWE Women's Division, they have more than just delivered the goods. a much better match more in tune with what we see in the current era of fantastic wrestlers than in the past, when the female division was a secondary act.
Now, however, comes the most difficult part of Rousey's huge push.
The WWE would have made Nikki against Rousey at Evolution because of the media attention she would attract for the company. The idea was that Rousey, the most recognizable female star of the WWE and a recognized draw in the world of combat sports, fighter Nikki, a powerful media on social networks with a large and large fan base would give more publicity to a female division that does not receive as much attention as it should.
This certainly worked in this regard, as Rousey's foray into professional wrestling and his quarrel with Nikki extended WWE coverage by sites like ESPN, TMZ and United States today when it was largely unheard of just a few years ago. Rousey and Nikki clearly play a role in the acceptance of professional wrestling by the general public, and even though many thirsty fans are frustrated by the fact that they are caught in Evolution's main event, their performance should open the eyes and make them crazy. understand why the fight took place in the first place.
Unfortunately, Rousey versus Nikki should also point out that WWE might encounter the same problem with Rousey as it did with Brock Lesnar.
During her brief stint at WWE, Rousey quickly met many of Raw's top female performers, ranging from Mickie James to The Riott Squad, Alica Fox, Alexa Bliss and now Nikki. The WWE put Rousey on a pedestal (and who can blame them?), But that had the unintended side effect of all the other members of the list, which now pale with respect to the former UFC star. As demonstrated in Evolution when the cornerstones of the women's division such as Bayley and Sasha Banks were relegated to a lesser role in a show they should have starred, Rousey's massive push tossed pieces aside. Essential Women's Evolution Puzzle for the New Favorite of WWE. toy to Rousey.
Given that Rousey is in a league alone when it comes to arousing the interest of the fans, pushing her strongly is not really a mistake. What is being done at the expense of the rest of the women's division, however, is where the WWE went wrong. Bayley is a complete afterthought on Raw, just as was the case for Banks' incredible talent even before his injury. In the same way, WWE showed little interest in raising other Rousey-level stars, while the creative team has already ruined Asuka. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have taken root in a formidable rivalry that should drive them away from Rousey in the near future.
As a result, Rousey became a burgeoning but talent-rich artist but still stuck in a stalemate: what made her such an MMA star was her dominance, but in WWE, this domination could be the same. fall if it is continually portrayed to be at a level that no one else is.
While the WWE hits hard with Rousey's signature and better-than-expected match with Nikki at Evolution, the problem is also the lack of viable opponents for a star who, in a creative way, can not be stopped.
