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. Would the promotion pair her up full-time with Shayna Baszler and have them challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship belts, which […]

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. Still, this didn’t dissuade Nattie from keeping her eyes firmly […]

Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey might just be the most polarizing performers in all of WWE. To some, namely fans who watched them come up in the MMA circles, the duo are the most believable fighters in the company, with an ability to break bones and hurt people in way that traditional wrestlers simply can’t. […]

WWE fans, it’s official: after six or so weeks away, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey is officially back on Friday Night SmackDown. That’s right, after dropping her strap to Charlotte Flair to close out 2022, Rousey was summoned into action by Natalya, who was having words with Shayna Baszler about being nothing but a “Ronda Rousey Clone” […]

When Shayna Baszler broke Natalya’s nose on WWE SmackDown, it created some serious ill-will between the two female submission specialists.

While the WWE Universe continues to argue over whether or not Ronda Rousey is a good wrestler, a bad wrestler, or the worst wrestler of all time, the rest of the SmackDown women’s roster soldiers on in the hopes of keeping themselves on television in the fallout of Survivor Series. With Rousey absent, Paul “Triple […]

Ronda Rousey is one of the baddest women on the planet; she was a transcendent force in the MMA world, parlayed her talents into roles in movies like The Fast and the Furious 7, and has since taken the professional wrestling world by storm as well, with three different title reigns as a WWE Superstar […]

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. Facing off against a submission specialist who continued the work Ronda Rousey started at SummerSlam on her […]

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. Granted, Morgan hasn’t exactly pulled a Roman Reigns and left WWE entirely, as she’s been a fixture of SmackDown, house shows, and even […]

After tapping out during the penultimate match on WWE’s SummerSlam in the middle of a pin, Liv Morgan’s status as the SmackDown Women’s Champion has been one of the more contested topics across the WWE Universe. To some, Morgan won the match fair and square, as Ronda Rousey was pinned legally during her armbar attempt, […]

There was a time when Shayna Baszler was untouchable. She was the WWE‘s big baddie in the Woman’s division, and even Becky Lynch struggled to contest with the MMA performer with a pension for inflicting pain on her opponents.
