• Spoiler On Planned Title Change For WrestleMania 39
WWE originally planned on doing Ronda Rousey vs. Rhea Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39.
However, WWE changed that plan and booked Charlotte Flair to take the Title away from Rousey, which leads to Flair vs. Ripley.
According to Wrestlingnewsco, Ronda has been pushing for WWE to put the spotlight on her close friend, fellow former UFC fighter Shayna Baszler.
Rousey wants to team up with Shayna and win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania Hollywood, and she gets what she wants.
On this week’s RAW, Lita & Becky Lynch defeated Dakota Kai & IYO SKY of Damage CTRL to win the Women’s Tag Team Championship.
It looks like we are getting Lita & Becky vs. Ronda & Shayna next month, with the MMA fighters expected to walk out as the new champions.
Rousey & Baszler’s title run is expected to last through spring and summer.
