Ronda Rousey has been the benchmark figure ever since coming to the WWE. She started the journey by delivering the most entertaining match of Wrestlemania 34. Thereafter, she picked up the WWE Raw women’s championship to set the bar high. There’s no better standard-bearer than her on the female locker room of the WWE.
Her last PPV title defense happened at Nia Jax back at TLC. Thereafter, she also wished to defend the championship on WWE Raw and received Natalya as the new contender. She is also over with that challenge as taped for the Christmas Eve episode of the show. Now Ronda Rousey will look forward to her next challenge at Royal Rumble.
Speaking of this brings us to the two names from Smackdown Live. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are those two names who are more than ready to get their hands on the WWE Raw women’s champion. It’s certain that each one of them will receive the much-anticipated match. But will one of those happen at Royal Rumble?
Wrestling Observer Newsletter hinted the same in their latest report. The source gave updates saying that the current plan for Royal Rumble is to set up a match between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. As mentioned earlier, a race is going on between Charlotte and Becky over who is going to face Ronda, first.
Charlotte Flair is still in the front row to capture this slot. She delivered a ‘match of the year candidate’ against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series 2018. Ronda won the match via disqualification when Charlotte hit her with a Kendo Stick. The punishment continued for sometimes that leads to another interference at WWE TLC PPV.
Charlotte, Becky Lynch were fingertips away to reach the title when Ronda Rousey arrived in the ring. She shoved down the ladder costing both of them, the title opportunity. This continued the storyline featuring Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Ronda Rousey. A couple of matches are evident to happen between them to sort out the differences.
Charlotte Flair taking on Ronda Rousey at Royal Rumble can be good news for Becky Lynch fans. If Charlotte and Ronda are present on this upcoming PPV match card, then it’s certain that Becky will challenge the ‘baddest woman at Wrestlemania 35. This would be a good move from the officials to give the fans a dream matchup they’ve waited for.
