3. Ronda Rousey Raises The Profile Of Anyone She’s Involved With

No superstar signing in recent WWE history has had more of an effect on the WWE than the signing of Ronda Rousey earlier this year.  Many were skeptical of what she would be able to do in the WWE, but those doubters have seemingly been proven wrong already.

Rousey took care of the Stephanie McMahon and Triple H roadblock and now has moved towards being a protector of sorts for her friend Natalya.  Nattie joined the red brand during the superstar shakeup and it wouldn’t take long for her and Rousey to team up as allies given how they are real-life friends.  Pairing up Rousey with a seasoned veteran is also a great move for her career.

But not only is having Rousey paired up with Natalya a great move for Rousey, but it’s also a great move for Natalya.  Last night in a short match with Mickie James, Natalya beat her thanks in large part because of Rousey fending off Alexa Bliss who was ringside.  And after the match, Nia Jax attempted to get her hands on Bliss, but The Goddess was able to escape.

Jax, Natalya, and Rousey all raised each others’ hand in the ring after the dust cleared.  The bottom line is Rousey raises the profile of the entire Raw women’s division when she’s involved.  It adds so much legitimacy to the division and anyone she works with.  And now that she’s actually involved with current superstars, that legitimacy she brings should only get better.

The Rowdy One has taken to the WWE like a duck takes to water, and that has already tremendously helped out the already stellar women’s division on Monday nights.
