Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey ruled WWE in the second half of 2018. While Becky had developed into the most over character on TV after her heel turn, Ronda proved herself as a force to reckon with by securing the RAW Women’s Championship. The two fierce female Superstars were set for a ‘Once in a Lifetime Showdown’ at Survivor Series 2018.

The build-up to this match was superb as both Superstars and WWE Creative played their part to perfection. A minor botch from RAW Superstar Nia Jax kept the WWE Universe from witnessing this ‘Champion vs Champion’ bout.

When the SmackDown Live female Superstars invaded RAW, Nia injured Becky so badly that she was forced to miss the Survivor Series pay-per-view. Lynch then chose Charlotte Flair as her replacement on the following episode of SmackDown and fans watched a Survivor Series clash between ‘The Queen’ and ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey.

That contest ended in a disqualification, but Lynch and Rousey crossed paths again later in 2019 when they main evented WrestleMania 35 alongside Charlotte Flair. At the end of the match, ‘The Man’ won both premier championships.
