Former WWE Writer Weighs In On Ronda Rousey’s Controversial RAW Promo

The women of WWE have been in the eye of some controversy following the Ronda Rousey promo on RAW where she insinuated that Nikki Bella and Brie Bella only got success due to their respective relationships with John Cena and Daniel Bryan. This was criticized by some, including by our own Tyler Treese.

A lot of times, the writers of the program get the blame for things by the audience, so it’s always interesting to see a former writer weigh in on topics like this. Former writer Tom Casiello tweeted that he was both overjoyed and disappointed at the current direction of the WWE women’s product. Casiello was previously employed as a creative writer with WWE from 2011 through 2016:

Ronda Rousey Seeks Revenge On The Bella Twins While Attacking Security

I am SO proud of WWE for investing so much in their women’s divisions…

…and I’m also SO grateful they regurgitated YET ANOTHER “women can’t be successful unless they sleep their way to the top” promos, to remind us how much work still needs to be done. #BothThingsCanBeTrue

After first getting into a social media battle over who the ‘DNB’ was, Ronda Rousey definitely got a lot of talk surrounding her WWE Evolution match with Nikki Bella after the promo. Time will tell if this is the good kind of controversy or if it’s too much of a regression for the women.

What do you think? Did Rousey’s promo go too far? Let us know in the comments section below:
