With Ronda's recent comments, is it best for WWE to cut ties with her, or bring her back?

EDIT: Never mind. You were all right. It was just a work.

They mentioned it on Raw, so it's nothing but a work, which makes me an idiot who got worked.

As a result, I should stop watching pro wrestling. I'm not smart enough for it.

It was a work, nerd.

Kayfabe is apparently alive and well.

She literally did the same thing last year and no one seemed to have any ill will towards her. She legit seems like she's friends with a majority of the women's roster. I don't really think anyone actually hates her tbh.

Rollins was seen on camera thanking her for what she did to the women’ division. The wrestlers in the locker room appreciate her even when fans don’t.

Issa work. Ronda is trending. She's legend. I hope she comes back. Y'all say you're tired of bex so Ronda winning title won't be bad.

Unpopular opinion, but I agree with you.

WWE cannot afford to continue insulting fans this way, work or shoot. Anyone who disagrees with this would likely prefer their wrestling in high school gyms or bars or backyards in front of a handful of people and would happily see these people commit suicide as long as they, and they alone, are entertained.

Vince McMahon and his minions have squandered the goodwill and patience that many fans have had for the company, as well as the goodwill harboured by the networks. No growth is possible when so many former fans have left WWE, either migrating to AEW or other promotions or simply walking away from pro wrestling altogether. Claiming intellectual superiority by mocking those tired of the abuse is not a good look, whether one is a promoter, a wrestler or a gatekeeping "hardcore" fan.

Nobody on the WWE roster is moving the needle in a positive direction. Drew McIntyre is the new WWE champion, but now the joke is when Heath Slater is getting his shot. Waiting for the other shoe to drop, that shoe that is Vince's capricious booking that makes babyfaces either become chumps or turn heel to be more "interesting" to the smarks, quite honestly is exhausting. More and more fans, therefore, have either swapped brands or have left entirely.

What Ronda (and other members of the WWE roster playing into this drama) are doing is not helping generate interest in the product, because a) there's no way it can be resolved in a high-profile way mid-pandemic and b) Ronda herself has squandered so much of the buzz around her. Her UFC credentials have been questioned and found wanting - she's barely a celebrity at this point and not really worth the "special attraction" hype she has been given. She's not what she has been hyped up to be, and never really was.

Vince has a roster full of idle hands who could take the ball and run with it if he let them do so. Instead, we have to speculate about whether Ronda "Woopdefrickindoo" Rousey is going to make a return. Nah, I'm good.

75% of wwe's major modern storylines involve one of the two guys going "THIS IS ALL FAKE BULLSHIT"

who gives a fuck

So I'm conflicted. This does feel like it's a Heyman deal where she's likely coming back on a part time deal and she's trying to get heat, but the reaction of being annoyed with the fake comments is also reasonable because it's very Russo-esque. She's likely going back as a heel wrestler who said everything is fake, so she's going to go to the fake sport to what, fake wrestle other people?

I guess that's why I wasn't a fan of the comments. I get that you're trying to piss the fans off for being above everybody else, but it just seems to Russo-esque when guys were saying they weren't going to do the job in a certain match. I'm conflicted in that I know it gets heat and it gets people to hate Rousey, but it seems like the wrong way to do things.
