WWE made a savvy business decision when Ronda Rousey defeated Alexa Bliss to become the Raw Women’s Champion at SummerSlam, but the toughest part of Rousey’s journey still lies ahead. Of course, it was a no-brainer for Rousey to win the top female title in WWE in route to Evolution. As she proved in UFC, Rousey is a massive draw who generates a ton of interest and is far more recognizable than any and every other female star in the company.
