Rousey losT to flair back at wrestlemania 38

When Rousey lost to Flair back at WrestleMania 38, it seemed like a bad decision on the part of WWE. Afterall, Rousey has lost in all of her WrestleMania appearances now.

[{"selector":"#anim-19866ad3-b931-46b2-806c-4cf3c14a58c5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] However, now looking back at it, it's safe to say it was the right call. Scribbled Underline

[{"selector":"#anim-6dd954f5-4a58-4ddb-8dd1-f475d3bbd9a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-98c955f9-e457-4c98-92d5-c35b3a59546a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 225.74972%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Rousey is improving, and the "I Quit" match at WrestleMania Backlash proved it.

Rousey has been criticized for her lack of in-ring skills. While it's evident considering her experience compared to other female athletes on the roster, Ronda Rousey is getting better.

[{"selector":"#anim-8c329e1e-75c1-425f-9390-132f374f3bba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5569deef-fe09-4ed2-87d7-b0d4645de3d0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-147.16981%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] UFC

More than a fast-track path to dominant champion, Rousey is making her way to the top. She is not as dominant as she was during her first run with the WWE.

[{"selector":"#anim-b1fd7c29-bba7-4e1a-95b1-806e9b596b68","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81cfee8c-75b6-4973-b7a6-2294c88608c4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72972454-60e3-4943-9a43-aca4a5756262","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 163.87266%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] If over time Rousey can add more tools to sharpen her in-ring work, it's safe to say that there will be no denying Ronda Rousey's position in the world of professional wrestling.
