WWE Smackdown Women's Champion Ronda Rousey recently has been facing a lot of backlash following her recent championship match.

Her title match against Shotzi at Survivor Series Wargames received a low rating from fans and critics after the two stars made several botches during the match.

A certain section of the fanbase is now doubting Rousey's ability to work good wrestling matches without being carried by other superstars.

But after returning at this year's Royal Rumble, Rousey's run has been very underwhelming. The main reason for this was the way her character was booked.

In the ring, Rousey is still a great worker but WWE booked her into the ground.

It's very important for Triple H to have Rousey fit and firing as she's one of the biggest stars on the roster.
