Did Ronda Rousey live up to the hype in WWE?

Ronda Rousey from WWE was recently interviewed on her Wrestlemania debut from April, in which she went on to claim that expectations for her debut match were low.

Since coming to WWE, Ronda Rousey has been considered one of the main stars of the company. Some may even argue that she is WWE’s biggest star right now, with all the hype she’s been getting for the past year.

With that said, Rousey gave an interview with Chris Van Vliet about how the fact that the expectations for her match with teaming up with Kurt Angle to face Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were very low, despite being hyped up greatly when arriving to WWE in the first place.

"“I think that going into any new career like wrestling or acting or anything like that, a lot of people assume you can only be really good at one thing and if you master one thing you’ll never be able to master anything else as well. There’s a lot of low expectations going into things and it’s harder to learn with the world watching opposed to being able to learn in private. But you know, it comes with the territory. It makes things a little bit more difficult but it also I think helps me improve quicker.”"

While many wrestling fans and critics alike may argue that Rousey isn’t deserving of her major push in WWE, with having little experience in pro-wrestling in general, it’s worth that the two matches she’s had on WWE TV have delivered exponentially, with her debut match at Wrestlemania being critically acclaimed.

And it’s also worth noting with WWE trying to promote their women’s division, it’s great business for them to promote Rousey as a special attraction, as fans are still clearly invested in her due to crowd reactions and high viewership on WWE’s Youtube videos.

Rousey has shown that she does, in fact, belong with the company if she can continue to deliver in the ring and have interesting story-lines. One setback though is long-term booking, meaning how long can the WWE promote Rousey as a huge star before people just aren’t into it anymore?

Can WWE make Rousey interesting years to come, or will it come to an abrupt end if there isn’t anything left for her to do?
