Ronda Rousey is set to make her debut on WWE SmackDown tonight. The former women’s champion made a huge return at Royal Rumble and won the 30-woman match to earn a guaranteed title opportunity at WrestleMania. Earlier this week on RAW, she confronted Becky Lynch and said she would reveal her choice tonight.

It is worth noting that Rousey eliminated Charlotte Flair to win the Royal Rumble last week. Can we see her go after the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion at WrestleMania?

Both superstars share a long history in the promotion and are bound to deliver an engaging feud. It will be interesting to see if Ronda Rousey will pick The Queen over Big Time Becks as her opponent.

The Viking Raiders recently established defeated major teams to establish themselves as the number one contenders for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

They are expected to be involved in a big showdown with The Usos to hype their upcoming title clash. Later this month, the two teams will battle it out for gold at the Elimination Chamber.

The Usos enjoy an unparalleled dominance on WWE SmackDown as part of The Bloodline. They are not expected to drop their title yet but will face tough competition from The Viking Raiders, former champions.

While it is unlikely that Jey and Jimmy Uso will drop their titles just yet, we hope to see them engage in a balanced feud with Erik and Ivar over the next couple of weeks.
