Last year, WWE made history by having the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match take place at the Royal Rumble PPV. The match headlined the show and was won by The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka.

Asuka was about to choose her WrestleMania opponent, when Ronda Rousey's music hit! In a shocking turn of events, the former UFC Champion came down to the ring and confronted Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss.

Rousey shook Stephanie McMahon's hand and attempted to do the same with the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble winner. Asuka didn't seem too keen on shaking Ronda's hand, and proceeded to shrug her off by gently slapping her hand on Rousey's.

The crowd went wild on seeing this exchange, as can be seen in the above video. It has been more than a year since then. Ronda became one of three women to headline a WrestleMania for the first time ever, while Asuka turned into an afterthought on the main roster.
