“She’s like a nuclear scientist” – Mark Henry disappointed that Ronda Rousey is not used properly

Ronda Rousey is not being used to her maximum potential by WWE, says Mark Henry.

Rousey, who returned to WWE in January, recently unveiled that she was asked to smile more by Vince McMahon. McMahon said that the fans had forgiven her after they booed the former UFC star during her last run with the company.

The Hall of Famer believes that her character is a dulled-down version when compared to her first run.

“I was very disappointed that she’s not used the (right) way. I’ve talked to her and she’s like a nuclear scientist. So smart, so accomplished and so tough. People like that, you just have to let ’em go. The reins are too tight on Ronda. Let Ronda go out there and be her – and if it comes across as arrogant and not too babyface enough for you, then tough. Tell Charlotte to turn it up. Make the other person work harder because I don’t see Ronda trying to be glib with Charlotte,” said Henry.

Mark Henry feels that Rousey should be presented like Ken Shamrock when he was in a feud with The Rock, where she gets the opportunity to be menacing even if she’s a babyface. Bully Ray, who was also on the show, was also disappointed and believes that motherhood may have toned down Rousey’s character.
