Ronda Rousey parted ways with WWE after her match against Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam last year and she remains a controversial figure in the business. With that said, she has been criticized for lacking showmanship skills like Logan Paul.
Logan Paul has made a notable impact in WWE, shifting from a successful social media career to becoming one of the promotion’s top stars. Even though he competes infrequently, Paul’s performances are highly praised for his in-ring skills and commitment to the sport.
While speaking on the latest episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantel, Dutch Mantell talked about why Ronda Rousey struggled to connect with the audience during her second WWE run. He noted that Rousey seemed less engaging over time and lacked the charisma and showmanship of Logan Paul.
While acknowledging Rousey’s presence and potential, he contrasted her with Logan Paul, stating that Paul excels in ring work, mic skills, and crowd interaction. He explained that Rousey’s performance fell short compared to Paul’s, who remains compelling even as a heel.
“She got more boring, you know? You see you’re going to ring, you know, she’s an interesting figure. I will say that but she’s not a good talker. She doesn’t have any of the showmanship that Logan Paul has. If she’s a heel, you truly dislike her. She’s not funny cute, she’s just like turn the TV off cute. But Logan Paul, he’s fun to watch even as a heel and good-looking guy. But the big difference between Logan Paul, and I don’t care if you can give her two months to practice a match, she doesn’t know until she gets out there in front of people.”
Ronda Rousey had previously claimed that WWE didn’t give her time to rehearse her matches unlike Logan Paul. Nevertheless, Rousey is already prepared for a potential WWE return, so fans hope if she does return, she will end up performing better this time around.
