5 Matches Ronda Rousey could have if she returns to WWE

#4 vs. Asuka

Some bad blood there?

When Ronda Rousey first debuted in WWE following the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match, one Superstar had a particularly interesting reaction. Annoyed at Rousey crashing her Rumble victory celebrations, Asuka rejected a congratulatory handshake from her with palpable tension.

At the time, it seemed like a clash between the two titans was inevitable. Asuka was still undefeated in WWE back then, making a potential showdown with Rousey one of the biggest dream matches that the former UFC star could have in WWE.

However, the Empress was moved to SmackDown and did not get a chance to face Rousey. This remains one of the matches that the WWE Universe wishes she had during her year-long run in the company. Asuka has lost a fair amount of times to Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch among others, but her aura just about remains intact.

She, along with Kairi Sane, lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, meaning a singles run could be on the horizon for the record-breaking former NXT Women's Champion. The match between the two would be a spectacle, just two high-caliber athletes beating the heck out of each other.
