Ever since Ronda Rousey lost her SmackDown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair on the final show of 2022, WWE has had a hard time figuring out where she fits into the picture.

Though she was advised not to wrestle on SmackDown due to injury, Natalya decided to do so anyway, with Tegan Nox by her side, and ultimately succumbed to a loss at the hands of Shayna Baszler, who broke her nose at the end of 2022.

Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey might just be the most polarizing performers in all of WWE.

[…]

WWE fans, it’s official: after six or so weeks away, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey is officially back on Friday Night SmackDown.

Folks, I regret to inform you that WWE is going crush angles; I know, I hate it too, but in a recent backstage segment immediately after Shotzi secured the number one contendership for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, the former Blackheart ran into Emma to discuss the prospects of wrestling Ronda Rousey on a future event […]

After being bullied up on by the heelish Shayna Baszler the for the better part of a month, Liv Morgan came into WWE’s Clash at the Castle with everything to lose and nothing but legacy points to gain.

Though Liv Morgan has officially been the SmackDown Women’s Champion since June 2nd, 2022, she’s only defended the belt once, at SummerSlam, in a Money in the Bank rematch against Ronda Rousey.
