With Ronda Rousey back in action in WWE, there is a lot of speculation regarding which brand she will wrestle on, and a rumor is that it will be the SmackDown brand. I think it should be the RAW brand. Rousey and Becky Lynch feuded in 2019, but they never had a singles match. So in a way, the feud never truly ended. Rousey wrestling Lynch for the RAW Women’s Championship one-on-one would be an opportunity for this to finally happen.
Also there are many fresh options for Ronda Rousey in terms of who to work with. If she’s on SmackDown, who will she wrestle? Sasha Banks? They’ve wrestled each other before. Charlotte Flair? They’ve wrestled each other before. Shayna Baszler? Sure, MMA fans would love to see the two former MMA stars in a match together, but it would be best two keep them on separate brands, giving MMA fans a reason to follow both brands. So that leaves Natalya, Naomi, Shotzi, Aliyah, and Xia Li.
On the RAW brand, however, there are many more wrestlers for Ronda Rousey to have first-time singles matches with- Alexa Bliss (they’ve wrestled before, but Bliss’ persona and style changed since then), Carmella, Tamina, Bianca Belair, Nikki ASH, Rhea Ripley, Queen Zelina, and Doudrop.

Rhea Ripley defeated Nikki ASH
The Miz defeated Dominik Mysterio (w/ Rey Mysterio)
Austin Theory defeated Kevin Owens in an “Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match”
Angelo Dawkins (w/ Montez Ford) defeats Dolph Ziggler
Riddle defeated Otis (w/ Chad Gable) in an “Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match”
Bianca Belair defeated Carmella
AJ Styles defeated Rey Mysterio in an “Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match”
AJ Styles didn’t win the Royal Rumble, but he has a second chance at being in the title scene at WrestleMania with possibly winning the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber. As I wrote last month, 2022 should be the year that AJ Styles’ time comes.
