Ronda Rousey’s first full day of what she called her full-time gig with World Wrestling Entertainment saw her being talked about constantly on a three-hour Raw show that she never appeared live on.
She was first mentioned at the open of the show by Stephanie McMahon. McMahon, currently her earmarked WrestleMania adversary, gave no hint of a match or confrontation in a few months. McMahon talked about different women at the show the night before. Rousey was just one of the names. The crowd reacted to the mention of her name, but no bigger than any of the stars of the WWE past that were brought back as surprise guests.
