But Becky was busy with her feud with Bianca Belair so WWE decided to make Ronda Rousey a competitor for The Smackdown Women’s title. At WrestleMania 38 she went on to challenge Charlotte for The Smackdown Women’s Championship. Charlotte successfully defended the title at WrestleMania 38.

But on the very next pay per view event which was WrestleMania Backlash, Charlotte finally dropped the Championship to Ronda Rousey and decided to go on a long leave. She made her return to WWE on the last episode of Friday night smackdown and defeated Ronda Rousey to capture the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. At WrestleMania 39, she is going to defend her Smackdown Women’s title against Rhea Ripley who won the women’s Royal Rumble match of 2023.

Charlotte Flair who is also a record breaking 14 times WWE Women’s champion recently spoke to Forbes where she talked about her upcoming match at WrestleMania 39 against Rhea Ripley and explained why it should be on the main event of night one. She said;

“Well, one, she won the Royal Rumble, so that’s guaranteed a main event spot at WrestleMania. Not solely relying on that, but I think you have two titans, two athletes who—regardless of their story or who have faced each other prior—are gonna put on a main event match solely on that, knowing that they’re capable of the storytelling.

“And possibly me retaining or crowning a new SmackDown Women’s Champion. I think when a main title is on the line, it’s always main event worthy. So, to me it’s important for that championship to feel that prestigious, to feel that important.

“But again, like you said, there are a lot of stories that are worthy. So we’re just gonna have to make sure between now and WrestleMania that we give the audience something to sink their teeth into, to feel that the stakes are that high.”
