We’ve heard a fair amount about the former Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion over the past month, but we haven’t seen her since she dropped the blue brand belt to the returning Charlotte Flair on Dec. 30.
Now, a week after the release of the report on what to do in WrestleMania 39And PWInsider has this:
We’ve heard from several readers in Connecticut that they spotted Ronda Rousey today, so it looks like she’s set to return to WWE programming tonight.
smack down At the Uncasville, Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut tonight (February 10), there is no other apparent reason why Rousey would leave her farm in the Constitution State. Throw in reports WWE has chosen not to use it Royal Rumble Because nothing she was going to do was befitting of her star power, rumored “Mania” show (and how do those rumors fit into Rossi’s own statements)? Connecting the dots on the inside makes sense.
It is believed that this WrestleMania program will be with Shayna Baszler, and includes the MMA Horsewomen’s quest for the WWE Women’s Tag Titles. Those belts are currently held by IYO SKY and Damage CTRL’s Dakota Kai, who have mostly appeared on Raw in the past couple of months – and they may have another high-profile match soon, if you believe the rumor mill.
How will it appear smack down factor in all of that? Can Rousey address her loss to Flair, or will WWE want to keep Charlotte’s storyline with Rumble winner Rhea Ripley separate from what Ronda does for the next couple of months?
I guess we’ll just have to see what happens tonight!
