What could have been. There are very few times when a wrestler comes into WWE and makes an immediate impact as they go straight to the top of the card. It can be a very impressive thing to see while also making you wonder where things are going for them. That was the case with one of the biggest female stars in WWE history, and now we know what she wanted to do there.

While promoting her new book during a LiveSigning video, former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey spoke about a potential singles match with Becky Lynch. Rousey said that WWE “constantly” dangled the match in front of her during her 2022 return but then never actually offered it to her. She described the match as what she “really wanted”. The two had been planned to meet at Survivor Series 2018 but Lynch was injured before the match. Lynch and Rousey, along with Charlotte, main evented WrestleMania 35 in 2019.

The build was there. Check out Lynch and Rousey:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that WWE would have done back in the day, as Rousey vs. Lynch would certainly have been a major showdown if it could have been put together. At the same time, I’m not sure why WWE would not have wanted to present the match, as it easily could have headlined a pay per view. I’m not sure I can imagine the match taking place down the line, which is a shame, but WWE seems to have no one to blame but themselves.
