Are WWE Trying To Book Ronda Rousey Vs. Stephanie McMahon At WrestleMania 34?
Never mind the Horsewomen: here's a match that'll get everyone talking.
Wrestling media has been ablaze with talk of a feud pitting Ronda Rousey's 'Four Horsewomen of MMA' against their WWE counterparts lately.
It started with reports that the former UFC Champion had started training under Brian Kendrick a few weeks ago, and continued when Rousey, Marina Shafir, and Jessamyn Duke faced off with Charlotte, Bayley, and Becky Lynch after last week's Mae Young Classic shows. This match will likely go ahead, but the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests a Rousey singles match may also be in the pipeline.
According to the write-up, WWE plan on booking the Horsewomen bout first, before pitting Rousey against Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 34 - three years after their first physical confrontation.
Rousey and McMahon met in the ring at WrestleMania 31, when Ronda was invited into the ring with The Rock, who'd been sparring verbally with Steph and Triple H. McMahon was trapped in an armlock a few minutes later, but Ronda let her and 'The Game' escape, then celebrated with Rocky.
There's no word on how WWE would build to a singles match, but it's possible that Stephanie could get involved in the Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen match to facilitate the feud.
