Ronda Rousey Says She Pitched A Singles Match Against Becky Lynch, ‘I Printed Out A Whole Presentation’

Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch seemed to be on a collision course to battle at WrestleMania 35, but Charlotte Flair was inserted into the match.

Lynch won, and Rousey disappeared from WWE TV until her return in 2022.

Speaking to Zack Heydorn of SI’s The Takedown, Rousey revealed she pitched a singles match against Lynch, laying out the entire story.

“After WrestleMania, I literally printed out a whole presentation for them, for me and Becky — the singles match,” Rousey said. “How we would do it, how we would plan it out and rehearse these things and have them woven throughout the show. To do something really exceptional and new, and then Vince and them were like, ‘oh yeah, this is a great idea, this is great.’ Then I went and had my baby, I came back, and they were like, well, we talked about that a year ago.

“They said, ‘We love this plan, it’s an epic showdown with you and Becky that’s going to build all year.’ I wanted to make basically a final showdown of me and Becky woven throughout the entirety of the show. It would summarize the entire rivalry for anyone watching it for the first time. Someone could watch it and not need to watch everything that came beforehand. It would sum it up and then deliver the ending. I thought it was fucking incredible and it was why I came back.”

Upon returning in 2022, Rousey feuded with Charlotte Flair. A match with Lynch was teased, but never came to fruition.

Rousey will return to the cage this Saturday when she faces Gina Carano.
