Ronda Rousey battled Raquel Rodriguez, who earned the right to challenge her last week. Despite a hard-fought battle with one arm, Rodriguez was unable to dethrone Ronda, who managed to retain her title. However, right after her victory, Charlotte Flair made her surprising return for the first time since May 2022.
Charlotte Flair immediately persuaded Ronda Rousey to face her in an impromptu title match, which she accepted. The Queen made quick work of the Rowdy One and speared Rousey to win her 14th Women’s championship. Flair’s return and unexpected title win gained attention from the WWE Universe, who exploded on Twitter expressing their displeasure.
“Could’ve built it up for next PPV instead of random TV match with no build.”
“So is Vince back or something? No story, not making new stars just Charlotte returns and gets the title immediately as normal.”
“Triple H following in Vinces footsteps.”
“When is WWE going to do something different and let someone other the Charlotte, Becky or Ronda win the woman’s championship title.”
“How many times must we go through a Charlotte Flair babyface run or just having her come back and win a millionth title immediately?! Is Vince back?!”
Charlotte Flair ends the year by reclaiming her throne and marching towards the new year with a target on her back. It will be interesting to see this build-up, leading to a possible encounter between Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey at the Royal Rumble event for the SmackDown Women’s championship.
