There are conflicting reports on what WWE intend on doing with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 34. While the Wrestling Observer claim she'll be placed in a mixed tag match against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, PWInsider have suggested a one-on-one with SmackDown Women's Champion. Both are plausible, but given that wrestling media earmarked Ronda for a potential 'Mania showdown with Steph many moons ago, we're inclined to side with Dave Meltzer on this one.

The tag match works, as McMahon was pensive towards Rousey at the Royal Rumble, and likely sees such a huge mainstream star as a threat to her own power. Going two-on-two will allow WWE to hide much of the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion's in-ring deficiencies too, but they'll need to find the right partner.

Enter Kurt Angle.

The Raw General Manager already has beef with Stephanie and Hunter, having had his pride and dignity stripped by the former the other month, and witnessed 'The Game' Pedigree his son before his very eyes. Thus, the Olympian standing up against the power couple works from a storyline standpoint, though his health remains a concern.
