How will Ronda Rousey's Royal Rumble emergence be handled?

Rousey made it clear that she was going to WrestleMania, but her sudden emergence in WWE has clouded the Team Red Women’s division. What did her handshake with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon mean? What exactly is Rousey planning for this year’s Show of Shows? And how will it be addressed tonight on Raw?

Let's not forget the official season of EVERY ONE doing this

 

[Deezy]

So Cena going to continue his trying to put over everyone tour or does he work the chamber to further the Elias program?

 

[Captain Charisma]

How will Miz retain? I wonder.

 

[Smart Marx]

So Cena going to continue his trying to put over everyone tour or does he work the chamber to further the Elias program?

There are rumors Cena will be working Fastlane and not EC so he may just put Finn over tonight.

 

[Deezy]

Based on the women's reactions to Rousey...it's going to be a mean girls club booshit angle in the future.

Did Cole just say Stephanie is apart of the Women's Evolution or Revolution lolz. Cole you're good man, no need to kiss ass with lies.

I've figured out Stephs character....she isn't a heel or a face, she's just a powerful woman....which means she's kind of a cunt.

Did Cole just say Stephanie is apart of the Women's Evolution or Revolution lolz. Cole you're good man, no need to kiss ass with lies.

Wait...so being a female boss in a male dominated industry isn't part of a women's revolution?

 

[Apoho Creed]

Well this segment should be interesting. If Stephanie says something wrong, Asuka might take a prize with her tonight and that's one of her Arms.

 

[Deezy]
