Rumor Roundup: Backstage Notes On Possible Women’s Royal Rumble Surprises, Veer, More

1) Possible Women’s Royal Rumble Surprise (Part 3)

According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, a WWE official recently flew to California to meet with Ronda Rousey. WWE reportedly wants Rousey back for Wrestlemania 38. It is all on her if she wants to do it or not.

Here is what Johnson wrote:

“*At least one WWE official flew after TV last week to California to meet with Rousey.

*We can also confirm that according to WWE sources, Rousey’s makeup artist and stylist when she last worked for WWE, Abraham Esparza, is slated to be at the PPV and Raw this coming week. We are told that that has been locked in for weeks and weeks.

*In speaking to a number of sources who are intricately aware of Rumble plans, we were told “it’s all on Rousey” and whether she wants to pull the trigger on the return, but the company is ready for it and wants it for Wrestlemania. Rousey vs. Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair would obviously add some juice to Wrestlemania 38 if they go in that direction.”

My Take:

  • Ronda winning and then challenging Becky Lynch to a match at Wrestlemania makes sense to me. It is a match that I still want to see happen.
