Ronda Rousey is being cool about her coming heat with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Instead, her focus was on finding a new challenger. A gauntlet match was announced. Natalya wound up winning the gauntlet.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

The match will take place on Christmas Eve, which is somewhat puzzling because it's unlikely to attract many viewers regardless. Credit to the company for trying, I suppose.

Ronda Rousey will certainly retain, and everyone's thoughts will then turn to the Royal Rumble. With Natalya out of the way, who is going to wait for Ronda Rousey there, assuming that there is a women's title match at all - recall that there wasn't last year. The Rumble match will need all the women it can get.

Regardless, WWE is teasing the coming confrontations with Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. That's a wise move. There's no need to rush through things too quickly. The cross-brand drama can increase interest in both shows.
