At the WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event, the duo of Ronda Rousey and Naomi defeated the team of Charlotte Flair and Sonya Deville. The match was a preview of the upcoming singles match between Flair and Rousey, scheduled to take place at WrestleMania 38.
Rousey returned to WWE at the 2022 Royal Rumble premium live event and won the 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match. In the match's closing stages, The Baddest Woman On The Planet eliminated Flair to win the Rumble.

At WrestleMania 38, Rousey will challenge Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship. It seemed The Baddest Woman On The Planet would initially pick Becky Lynch as her opponent for The Grandest Stage Of Them All, but that wasn't the case to be.
WWE veteran Dutch Mantell recently criticized Ronda Rousey in the lead-up to her match against Charlotte Flair
Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell recently criticized Ronda Rousey for her skills on the microphone. Mantell believes that Rousey is not a strong talker and generally comes across as a heel, even though she is a babyface.
"I actually think it hurts Ronda when you hear her do a promo. She's not a strong talker at all. She's trying to be a babyface but she resembles a heel in everything she says." (from 51:20 onwards)
