The Good

Ronda Rousey is responsible for putting the UFC’s women’s division on the map. She was taking names, making women tap out left and right, and because of her dominance and charming personality, she was well liked by fans. Everyone wanted a piece of her EPSN to Ellen wanted to interview her. And this ultimately helped her popularity in the WWE.

Everywhere from the ring to social media Rousey seemed extremely happy and honored to be where she was. Since she doesn’t take her gifts and celebrity for granted, it will keep people in her corner in whatever she does.

She also doesn’t seem to take herself too seriously. She was involved in the fake horror parody called Tables with WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley: a fake movie where the antagonists were, wait for it, actual tables. Not everyone with her kind of celebrity could pull off something like this, and some might even feel embarrassed. Not Rousey though – she went into this and made this the gimmicky trainwreck you’d expect (and hope) it to be.

All of this would undoubtedly make both DC Comics and Marvel Studios happy. Her popularity makes her a draw in a ton of demographics. She brings in young women who look up to her, WWE and UFC fans, and people who just like her in general.

In addition to that, she’s not known for being difficult to work with and truly seems to want to push herself and improve at whatever she does. This makes her more likely to get a part over a more renowned actor with a blemished track record.
