Reason Behind WWE’s Ronda Rousey Training Package That Aired On RAW
On last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE aired a video package showing Ronda Rousey training for her WWE arrival. You can see the video embedded above.
On the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the video packaged WWE aired on RAW last night. Meltzer indicated that there could be some resentment from the fans towards Rousey. He added that they aired the training package to try and help the fans have a reason to get behind her. The belief there is that nothing makes you like somebody more than by watching them train their ass off.
“They know there is some resentment or there appears to be resentment. You never know how strong it is until you really see it, until she comes out. We will see on Sunday. It’s a hardcore fan group in Vegas. Maybe Vegas will be a good city for her, who knows. You don’t know, you really don’t know what’s going to happen or how people are going to react. I can see with this footage they were really trying to make sure she didn’t get booed as much as they can. There is nothing that makes you like someone in theory than watching them train their ass off at your thing.”
