WWE fans were eager to see Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch go one-on-one, according to Lynch, but the match never happened.
Lynch and Rousey were scheduled to face off at Survivor Series 2019 before The Man was infamously concussed by an errant punch by Nia Jax. Instead, Rousey faced Lynch\'s friend and rival Charlotte Flair at the Premium Live Event.
Becky Lynch On Ronda Rousey
After Lynch won the 2019 Women\'s Royal Rumble match, it seemed destined that she and Rousey would have their one-on-one encounter. After several booking changes however, Lynch\'s WrestleMania 35 match would end up as a triple threat match including Flair. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Lynch reflected on the one-on-one match with Rousey never happening.
\"Do I think that was the match that everyone was clamouring for? Yes it was. Everyone wanted that singles match. And I think, people thought that moment in time would be evergreen and it wasn\'t. That\'s OK.\
While Rousey left WWE last year following her SummerSlam 2023 loss to Shayna Baszler, Lynch remained open to the possibility that the match could still take place.
\"If she ever comes back again, maybe that season will be right there. Maybe it will be spring time on that story again, but it never got back to that.\
What\'s Next?
Lynch will compete at tomorrow\'s WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth Premium Live Event. The Man will step into the Women\'s Chamber match for the first time in her career and is a heavy favourite to win. The victor will challenge for the WWE Women\'s World Championship at WrestleMania 40.
