People continue to assume Ronda Rousey will end up in WWE sooner or later, and while we’ll agree with that assessment, how she’ll show up is way less clear. At the Royal Rumble? At WrestleMania? Sometime late in 2018, depending on how her next movie performance is received? Who knows.
But one person eager to see Rousey in the squared circle is Charlotte Flair. That just makes sense, considering Flair is a leading candidate to face Rousey due to their dueling associations with the Four Horsewomen brand, and Charlotte’s positioning as one of WWE’s top dogs.
For a while, it sounded like the WWE wanted a Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen match as part of Rousey’s debut angle, but that sounds less likely these days. But as the respective leaders of the Horsewomen, a Rousey vs. Charlotte fight still seems like a no-brainer. Flair has been taking repeated shots at Rousey for months, and she once again weighed in on the possibility of a Ronda WWE run at a recent Tribute to the Troops event (via Sporting News).

“What’s exciting about Ronda being a part of WWE is all the different eyes that she attracts towards the women’s division as a whole,” she said. “I think that’s what cool: Ronda is an attraction. Any buzz that puts the women on a different or a higher level, I’m all for. She’s a star that would be a crossover star into our world and that’s exciting. That goes to show how far the women have come, that someone like Ronda Rousey wants to be a part of something that all the women have collectively built.
“My message to Ronda would be she knows where to find me,” Flair finished. “I’m on Smackdown Live every Tuesday.”
But Charlotte had better be prepared, because we think it’s more likely that Ronda pops up at a PPV event than at a random Smackdown, probably out of nowhere, and maybe with The Rock in tow. Hey, it could happen!
