Becky Lynch Reveals Why She Isn't Facing Ronda Rousey At WWE WrestleMania 38

When Ronda Rousey made her WWE return at Royal Rumble 2021, most wrestling fans assumed Rousey would jump straight back into a feud with Becky Lynch heading into WrestleMania 38. However that would not be the case, with Rousey set to challenge WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, whilst Lynch will defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair at Mania. 

Now Lynch has given her thoughts on why her and Ronda have been kept apart for the time being, telling the New York Post:

“I think the idea was, let’s give it even more of a build and possibly do this in Hollywood [at WrestleMania 39] of all places. I think the idea was to give it a little bit of extra time, and hell, let frickin’ Ronda get her feet wet.”

Lynch continued, noting how the feud between herself and Belair needed concluding first:

“We had to tell this story with Bianca, too,” Lynch said. “So was I surprised? No, not entirely, not really. I think they thought of Hollywood as maybe being the spot for where this match would go down.”
