You're reaching.
She moved the needle, no one has since.
It's that simple.
Name anyone who has been on her level lately? Sasha was on the mandalorian ffs and still hasn't been on anything outside of WWE to plug that or her brand.
Interest in woman's wrestling waned in her absence....that's a fact.
I’m not even sure where you’re getting your numbers from but I’ll take your word for it. But yes she created a buzz because she was in MMA before. If Sasha was in MMA and Ronda was a full time wwe star than Sasha would’ve created the buzz. Of course people were curious to see how Ronda would do but it doesn’t mean that the women’s division isn’t great without her.
