2) Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women's Championship - WWE WrestleMania 38

Ronda Rousey shocked the wrestling world by winning the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble Match to punch her ticket for the main event of WrestleMania 38.

The Rowdy One is a UFC Hall of Famer and former RAW Women's Champion. She left the company after losing her title to Becky Lynch in the first-ever all-female main event at WrestleMania 35.

However, recent reports suggest that Becky Lynch won't be her opponent at the Showcase of Immortals. SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair lobbied to face Ronda at WrestleMania this year.

The two women have their own unfinished business after a disqualification finish at Survivor Series 2018 and no rematch since.

Their interaction at the end of the women's Rumble adds to what will be a show-stealer. The two women have worked well together in singles and triple threat action, so it is safe to assume they will deliver on this huge stage.


1) Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship - WWE WrestleMania 38

If one thing became perfectly clear at Royal Rumble 2022, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will face the men's Rumble winner Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. This is a fact that should have been known since SummerSlam 2021.

After the biggest party of the summer, Lesnar returned to WWE after a 18-month absence to confront Reigns and his special counsel Paul Heyman.

Brock proceeded to cause dissension between Roman and Paul by suggesting that Heyman still worked with him.

The dissension reached its boiling point when the Tribal Chief interrogated his special counsel, and Heyman responded by saying he was protecting Roman from Brock.

Reigns fired Heyman and hit him with a Superman Punch. The former ECW owner was absent for a few weeks but returned following WWE Day 1 when Brock Lesnar won a Fatal Five Way to win the WWE Title.

This all led to the Royal Rumble 2022, where Roman Reigns interfered in the WWE Championship Match between Lesnar and Bobby Lashley.

After Roman hit the spear on Brock, he stared at Heyman and reached his hand out. Paul Heyman finally made his decision and handed Reigns the WWE Championship to blast Lesnar with.

Following Brock's surprise arrival as #30 in the men's Rumble and victory, it would be surprising if he didn't choose the Head of the Table.

Their issue dates back to WrestleMania 31, and this year will mark their third meeting at the biggest event of the year. WrestleMania 38 should finally end this long-standing saga with Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Paul Heyman.
