But now Ronda is in her way.

Like I said, "Ronda over everybody." This is the kinda blatantly bad decision making that is obviously the wrong move.

I'd like to say that it's wrong... but I'm not sure it is.

You can do the "oh yeah Ronda Rousey Raw women's champion above everyone else I gotta see that!"...or, you can just put it on the best women's wrestler on the brand. I get the Ronda thing. It comes down to marketing against quality though.

Right... but Ronda certainly hasn't been bad in any of her matches. If they stuck her in there with Sasha or Nattie and gave them time (and time to work on the match beforehand) the match would probably be pretty great.

I've just been thinking lately about underutilization.

I guess I could further elaborate on that and this could and probably should generate it's own topic thread but...

The Revival.
Sasha Banks.
Bailey.
The Club.
The Ascension.
Becky Lynch.
Rusev(maybe not so much now.)

I'm sure we'll think of more, but this is a small list of people who just get stuck with deal booking and some of it is little to no gain, or should be higher up in much bigger profile matches. Just because of that certain style of booking though for whatever reason or another, they just don't receive it.
