Ronda could be the money maker but I think we need to slow down some. She's way too green in the ring right now. We don't know what her WWE SCHEDULE is gonna be either. Is she gonna be a full time wrestler or just spots here and there. yes she signed a full time contract but that doesn't mean she's gonna be on raw every week.

Don't think she'll work house shows but also don't think she'll only wrestle 5 times a year like Brock. So somewhere in the middle.

I've been saying for a while now that the women would main event WrestleMania within the next few years, but could they at least put a spoiler on that shyt? :why:

Now Charlotte's going to choke that SmackDown women's belt all year while Ronda stays undefeated. Ronda wins the Rumble, challenges Charlotte, Stephanie makes it the main event, and we have to hear for weeks on end about how monumental it is for the women to main event WrestleMania. :mjcry:

I just did a year's worth of booking, where's my check? :troll:

And people will probably walk out early unless it's Ronda in the spot.
I'm walking out either way if I go. I don't care about either of these people that much. Also, I'm not going to applaude two blonde white women being celebrated like that shyt doesn't happen all the time.

A few rambling thoughts........

You all have been grading these women on a curve for so long you don't even realize Stephanie's marketing that you all used to (and sometimes still do) mock has worked better than imagined. The right combination of social justice, fear of backlash for not being "progressive enough," "hope" start and stop pushes for niche and minority female wrestlers and a rotating set of over-pushed blondes that you invest your emotions into seeing felled have all been thrown in a big manipulative pot, stirred by Steph and cooled until ready to serve and you all have eaten it up. The women are the smoothest they've been in a long time as anything looks better than the Diva era, plus there are more than one or two decent to good workers on the female roster which boosts the overall prestige of the division. It's leaps and bounds better than it perhaps has ever been but they aren't outperforming the men on a regular basis. A female main event can work but it won't be anything but a poorly built and booked (like everything else) feather in the hat of the WWE. Another "female first" to promote and market.

This brings me to another problem with the WWE in general; a lot of fans really aren't invested in the stories, matches and performers for what they are but what they represent on an almost tribal basis. Most people here are Sasha Banks and Naomi fans because they are black. And that's the same reason why many Reddit cacs are not fans of them and prefer Alexa Bliss, Charlotte, Mandy Rose or perhaps Becky Lynch or Nattie. There's no reason to be invested in them beyond tribalism and fandom. None of the stories are compelling or thought out. They don't have any character and if they do it is one note and over the top i.e. Alexa Bliss's mean blonde bytch shtick straight out of a 90s cartoon. Same as how people dislike Roman for being an over pushed product of Vince or how people are behind Rusev because his talent has overcome a number of burials. Neither of them are in a compelling storyline or booked competently. They have detractors (Roman) and fans (Rusev) not because of the product but in spite of it. Because the fans have become personally invested in the behind the scenes screw-ups and mishandling of the performers instead of the product itself.

The female WM main event is going to be built around nothing like all main events and ultimately it won't do anything more than be something WWE can tick off it's list for marketing purposes like the first female HIAC, first female MITB and the first female Rumble. May as well have Queen of the Ring too.
But the marketing is working so I think it'll go over well. Vince probably doesn't have his feeble hands on the women's division as much as the rest of the product so I doubt we'll have to worry about Rousey/Flair being turned into Lesnar/Reigns. It's still going to be empty and soulless like most of the product though. Sad shyt.
