On Night One of WrestleMania 38, Ronda Rousey made Charlotte Flair tap out to the armbar submission maneuver. But the referee was knocked out at that time after digesting a spear from Flair.
Ronda Rousey then tried to wake the referee up and announce her to be the winner. But Flair took advantage of the situation, hit her opponent with a Big Boot, and pinned her to retain her title.
Moving on, the challenger kicked off this past edition of SmackDown after WrestleMania 38 and challenged Flair to an “I Quit” Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania Backlash 2022 Flair appeared on the titantron and denied the challenge.
However, WWE’s social media pages have made the “I Quit” bout between Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Wrestlemania Backlash 2022.
