#6 Ronda Rousey's SmackDown debut and the far-reaching consequences

Ronda Rousey appeared on SmackDown, and her decision has already been made. It was the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair who came out, and Sonya Deville relayed Becky Lynch's message to her.

Lynch said that Rousey had made her pick, and that she chose the RAW Women's Champion instead. Flair responded by saying that Rousey made a wise choice going for the "Mother vs Mother" option instead.

Flair would then go on to choose Sasha Banks as her WrestleMania opponent, but Rousey interfered and confronted the most decorated woman in WWE history. After a slightly awkward verbal back-and-forth, Rousey declared that she would face Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania instead.

Post-that, Sonya Deville tried to prevent a physical altercation and while Charlotte Flair got out of the ring, the authority figure suffered an attack from the Women's Royal Rumble winner. This means that Rousey will likely be suspended on-screen to prevent an appearance at Saudi Arabia for Elimination Chamber.

What it also means is that it essentially confirms that Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch will be one of the two main events for WrestleMania 39 - assuming that it will be another two-day event in 2023.
