Meanwhile, over on SmackDown...

...Hell In A Cell? Sure, WWE have WrestleMania Backlash to plough through first, but HIAC happens on 5 June. The writers can spin a rematch between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair out until that show, then have Ronda bag the SmackDown Women's Title inside a cage.

Some UFC-style build towards that one wouldn't go amiss either. Why not? Rousey once made her name by kicking lumps out of poor fools inside the steel, and it'd be a missed opportunity if WWE didn't at least reference that during the hype for her first Hell In A Cell showdown.

A few training montages here, some simple promos about how Ronda plans to "kick Charlotte's ass" there - the build wouldn't need to be complicated. Of course, this is WWE, and they believe that Rousey must cut lengthy speeches even though that's blatantly not a core strength.

Wrap this up inside the Cell and build SmackDown's division around Ronda.
