WWE blatantly used Ronda Rousey's first crack at the SmackDown prize as set-up for this "I Quit" affair. That WrestleMania 38 clash with Charlotte acted as the co-main event on night one in Dallas, but it was largely forgotten about by the time 'Stone Cold' was throwing hands with Kevin Owens.

'Mania Backlash belongs to Rousey.

There's just no way she can leave Providence without the SmackDown Women's Title and still look like the huge threat she's supposed to be. Another failed title bid would leave WWE's 'Baddest Woman On The Planet' rudderless and struggling big time. That simply cannot be allowed to happen.

Flair has to yell out those two little golden words, and Rousey has to become the SmackDown division's new focal point. Charlotte has had her time in the sun anyway, and she's running out of challengers who fans give a toss about.

Time for Ronda to add that SmackDown belt to her list of achievements.
