Ouch: Ronda Rousey Blasts Women's Division, Calls For More Title Defenses

She kind of has a point. Women’s wrestling in WWE has come a very long way in the last few years, as the division has gone from little more than a side show to one of the company’s featured attractions. There are more women’s titles and stars being given a chance than ever before, but that does not mean everyone is pleased. One of the bigger stars in the division has something to say about her colleagues.

This week’s SmackDown featured Shayna Baszler, with Ronda Rousey, defeating Natalya, with Tegan Nox. The match marked the first time that Nox and Natalya had worked together, with a vignette showing them setting up their newly formed partnership earlier in the day. Following the show, Rousey took to Twitter to say the SmackDown women’s tag team division consists of Natalya and anyone she can find that week. Rousey also criticized WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Damage Ctrl of not defending their titles. This comes amid rumors of Rousey and Baszler challenging for the titles at WrestleMania.

Apparently the entirety of the Smackdown tag division is @NatbyNature plus whatever poor soul she can recruit to her lost cause this week. #USOs defend their title every week, #DamageCNTRL has defended like twice in 6 months. What the hell is going on here?

Rousey might be on to something. Check out how the women’s division has been going lately:

Opinion: It would not surprise me in the slightest to see Rousey and Baszler go after the Women’s Tag Team Titles at Wrestlemania, just to give Rousey something fresh to do. She has dominated the women’s division for so long and needs something new, so why not this? If nothing else, it would give the division some dominant champions for a change, which has been lacking for a bit.
