WWE Wrestlemania 38: Spoiler on Ronda Rousey’s title match opponent

Reports
from
Wrestling
Observer
have
noted
that
it
looks
like
“The
Queen”
Charlotte
Flair
and
“The
Baddest
on
the
Planet”
Ronda
Rousey
will
lock
horns
at
WrestleMania
38
over
the
Smackdown
Women’s
Championship.

Rousey’s
return
and
the
subsequent
Rumble
match
win
obviously
indicated
the
much-anticipated
singles
bout
against
Becky
Lynch
over
the
Raw
Women’s
Title
in
April.

However,
the
speculation
is
that
WWE
pushed
back
this
mega
match
for
a
year.
Rousey
vs.
Lynch
is
reportedly
set
to
serve
as
one
of
the
main
events
for
next
year’s
WrestleMania
at
the
SoFi
Stadium
in
Inglewood,
California.

At
Rumble
2022,
the
current
SmackDown
Women’s
Champion,
Charlotte
Flair
voluntarily
put
herself
into
the
Rumble
and
claimed
to
win
so
that
she
can
choose
her
challenger
for
her
title
match
at
The
Biggest
Event
of
the
Year.

That
would
have
been
the
case
if
it
wasn’t
for
Rousey
who
victimized
Flair
to
be
the
final
elimination
from
the
30-woman
melee.
Apparently,
that
was
the
angle
to
set
up
the
upcoming
Wrestlemania
38
match.

Recent
reports
already
suggested
that
Ronda
Rousey
is
expected
to
be
with
the
WWE
for
more
than
a
year.
While
contract
specifics
have
not
been
revealed,
the
current
stint
started
at
the
2022
Royal
Rumble
and
it
should
last
up
to
Wrestlemania
39
in
Hollywood
in
2023.

It
was
noted
that
the
UFC
Hall
of
Famer
will
have
a
substantial
run
with
numerous
appearances
on
the
Smackdown
brand
throughout
this
year.
For
the
time
being,
she’s
booked
for
a
one-off
appearance
on
tonight’s
Raw
from
Cincinnati.

FOX
officials
will
be
happy
with
this
as
they’d
receive
two
2022
Rumble
winners
in
Lesnar
(for
a
storyline
with
Roman
Reigns)
and
Rousey
(for
a
storyline
with
Charlotte
Flair)
on
Friday
nights
en
route
to
Wrestlemania
38.

Reports
also
mentioned
how
Rousey
is
currently
under
contract
with
the
WWE.
Her
original
deal
expired
in
April
2021.
She
either
signed
a
new
deal
or
WWE
just
froze
her
original
three-year
deal
since
she
only
worked
the
first
year
and
then
headed
for
a
long
hiatus.

The
former
Raw
Women’s
Champion
dropped
her
title
to
Becky
Lynch
at
WrestleMania
35
main
event
in
2019
in
a
Triple
Threat
which
also
featured
Charlotte
Flair
in
it.

Rousey
took
the
time-off
as
she
wanted
to
build
her
family.
She
and
her
husband
Travis
Browne
welcomed
their
first
child,
a
baby
girl
named
La’akea
Makalapuaokalanipō
Browne
in
September,
last
year.
