Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on the May 29, 2023, episode of RAW. Since then, The Baddest Woman on the Planet has immediately made headlines with some of her remarks.
A few weeks ago, Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan had vacated the titles after the latter suffered an injury. On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, Rousey made Shotzi tap out to win the Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Shayna Baszler in a Fatal Four-Way Match.
Speaking to New York Post after winning the titles, Rousey criticized the company’s women’s division. The Baddest Woman on the Planet made it known that she was aware of the problems within WWE.
Her comments stirred up a storm in the wrestling fraternity. Fans took to Twitter to react to Ronda Rousey’s controversial remarks.
Most fans agreed with the criticism, claiming that WWE did not care much about its women’s division. However, some did not like her taking a shot at her colleagues.
WWE could give Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler an extended run with the Women’s Tag Team Titles. The two have been dominant in their work on the main roster, and it would make sense to book them as the meanest team in the company.
Ronda Rousey believes there is a lack of competition in WWE
Speaking to New York Post, The Baddest Woman on the Planet claimed that she wanted her and Shayna Baszler to be the most active champions on the roster.
However, she cited a lack of competition in the division as a major problem.
“Well, the lack of competition is really the problem… I mean, we want to be the most active champions out there. I want to be able to defend this title every week and even twice a week on both ‘SmackDown’ and ‘RAW’… But with how dismally shallow the women’s division is right now, there’s not enough women around here to keep us busy for a month. And so that’s the biggest challenge that we have is to get this company to actually care and invest into this tag division.”
Over the years, fans have been critical of the booking of the women’s division in general and the Women’s Tag Team Championship in particular.
Most of the time, the title is seen as an afterthought. Fans can hope to see Rousey and Baszler elevate the value of the titles with a good run.
