It seems like all the hype surrounding her has died down. There hasn't been much outside coverage concerning her and even within WWE itself it doesn't seem like her presence really matters. Yea they don't have her really doing much but I remember when Brock came back it was a huge deal for a while. It really seems like she's irrelevant

I don’t think its over but it’s an interesting juxtaposition compared to Brock.

Ppl complain IRL & storyline that Brock has held the belt hostage and isn’t on shows regularly. But he still seems to be a draw and special attraction. Conversely we’ll see if there are diminishing returns with Ronda showing up every night, even if she does relatively very little.

I give her credit cause she does appear to be all in and was pleasantly surprised by her 1st match.

What’s funny is she wants to be full time wrestler when really she has so much name value. she needs Brock’s schedule to keep her value high

Seeing her every week eventually she’ll just be another talent on the roster

He next hyped thing is really Summerslam. They are gonna hype up Ronda, Roman, Braun, and Bryan at Summerslam...maybe Seth too.

the fact they keep resigning him and keep the belt on him.
the fact they promote the shyt outta of his appearances.
the reactions he gets even though the narrative pushes him as a heel

That doesn't say anything about him being a draw or special attraction. Just that that's what Vince wants to do.


He's still a big attraction based on his last UFC fight and what not but when it comes to WWE I don't see it. The product doesn't change for the better when he's around imo.


They fukked him up with that Triple H feud booking to me and the first L to Cena when he came back.
