Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair are on their way to headline WrestleMania 38 in April. The two women will face each other for Charlotte’s WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. As we inch closer to Mania, it is clear that the rivalry between the two is turning personal with each passing week, with Flair trying to get under Ronda Rousey’s skin.
On this week’s episode of SmackDown, Charlotte Flair took a very personal shot at the former UFC women’s champion.
SmackDown opened with Michael Cole listing Rousey’s incredible accolades. Rousey is a great judo artist, first-ever UFC Women’s Champion, and Hall of Famer. Moreover, Ronda was one of the first three women to main event WrestleMania.

Ronda humbly said that she was inspired by her single mother, who achieved a lot while she was growing up. She revealed she would look to be an inspiration for her daughter, who was the reason for her early return. The 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble winner promised to make ‘The Queen‘ tap out, prompting the champion to emerge.
Flair told Ronda that she found it extremely entertaining that Rousey wrestled at Elimination Chamber with her hand tied behind her back. However, Charlotte warned Ronda that she will make her tap out for the first time in her career at WrestleMania while taking a very personal shot at Rousey.
