Ronda Rousey is now officially part of World Wrestling Entertainment. The speculations about her future ended when the former Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight champion appeared for the first time at "Royal Rumble 2018."
This early, there are a lot of rumored plans for Rousey, particularly about her expected match at "Wrestlemania 34." Most fans are expecting the former MMA superstar to partner with The Rock, however, there might be some other plan for the newest WWE diva.
Kurt Angle to step in for The Rock?
Rousey is expected to appear in a Tag Team Match at "WrestleMania 34" against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
The Rock is the logical choice for Rousey’s partner, as they have already appeared in one of the most popular WrestleMania monents in WWE history.
The Rock and Rousey were involved in a momentous segment with McMahon and Triple H at "WrestleMania 31" three years ago. The altercation started the talks about the possibility of Rousey moving to the WWE after she is done competing inside the UFC Octagon. However, The Rock might be unavailable for WWE’s biggest event this year. His busy schedule and possible conflicts with his movie career might leave WWE looking for a new partner for Rousey in the purported showdown.
According to Forbes, it is almost set in stone that Rousey will be involved in a match against McMahon and Triple H.
And if The Rock fails to secure permission to wrestle again, Rousey might be paired with Kurt Angle. At this point, it will be the next best thing for Rousey’s WrestleMania debut, considering Angle’s popularity.
WWE Divas unhappy with Rousey’s entry?
Meanwhile, while fans are ecstatic about Rousey’s entry, some superstars are reportedly unhappy.
WWE Divas Sasha Banks and Nia Jax gave their take on the surprising turn of events. Jax said that Rousey’s entry might have overshadowed the history made by the 30 women who participated in the Royal Rumble. Banks, on the other hand, told SiriusXM's "Busted Open" that she does not want to comment because she does not have good things to say about Rousey.
“My feelings, and sorry to do it to you guys, but I have nothing nice to say so I can’t say anything at all,” Banks said. “So that’s it.”
It is also worth considering, though, that Nia Jax and Sasha Banks’ statements were probably made on purpose to create a possible storyline. Rousey will arguably be the most popular WWE Diva in the years to come, and it makes sense to link her to current superstars in the women’s division.
