Perhaps, there's no other match on the Survivor Series card deserving more of the main event slot than The Man taking on The Baddest Woman on the Planet.

Rousey is a legitimate star of the combat sports world outside of WWE and so any match/angle she features in is a big deal just by her presence.

However to quote her opponent for Survivor Series, "every single woman that [Ronda] stepped in the ring with, was already beaten before the opening bell.."!

That feels so true when you look at Rousey's opponents yet in Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella. They never had a chance at winning.

But that's where Becky Balboa comes around. For years, a performer who was always being overlooked in favour of others, suddenly snapped at Summerslam this year and what followed was the making of the biggest success story of the year!

Becky Lynch is the MVP of WWE today (on both RAW and Smackdown) and it's almost easy to say, the biggest threat to Rousey in the WWE yet.

Lynch is the second coming of Stone Cold and WWE has shown tremendous trust in her lately with decisive victories, being heavily featured on TV, getting the most amount of match time and work outside of her wrestling obligations.

She will most probably give Rousey her greatest match to date and even beyond for several years.

But will that be enough to actually beat the former UFC Bantamweight Champion? Well, not quite so! If anything will keep this match from main-eventing Survivor Series, it's the predictable outcome.

Rousey has always been in WWE's long-term goals with rumours circulating of her possibly main eventing Wrestlemania this year.

It doesn't feel like WWE will compromise those plans even though they've acknowledged that Lynch is a star who took the ball and ran with it like no one else when she was finally given the chance.

Winner: Ronda Rousey
