WWE Chairman Vince McMahon expects to have Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey available to book by WrestleMania 37.

This is according to a new report from WrestlingNews.co's Paul Davis, whose sources claim that a potential bout between Lynch and Rousey could main-event the show, with the duo previously throwing down as part of a three-way with Charlotte Flair at 'Mania 35. That bout was the first women's main event in WrestleMania history.

"Vince is hoping for Becky to be back in January or February to start the one-on-one feud with Ronda," said Davis' source. On top of this, McMahon "wants WrestleMania to be the show that says 'WWE is back.'" He has no desire to run Lynch vs. Rousey in an empty arena and would instead like to book the match for a packed 'Mania crowd.

Becky stepped away from WWE shortly after 'Mania 36, revealing that she is pregnant with partner Seth Rollins' child. The baby is due in December. Rousey, meanwhile, left to start a family with her husband, Travis Browne, having not wrestled since the aforementioned bout with Lynch and Flair.

'The Man' stepping back into the ring so soon after giving birth may be a stretch, regardless of what Vince wants.
