Surprisingly, Rousey’s challenge was accepted buly Raquel Rodriguez who has been a part of only one match before her SmackDown Women’s Championship opportunity. Rodriguez and Rousey featured in a great match but in the end, it was the Baddest Woman on the Planet who defeated the young talent to retain her championship.

Rousey might be looking for a long term challenger after her successful title defense on SmackDown and an established star could be one of the best options to step up as the Challenger. Former SmackDown Women’s Champion, Bayley, who has not been seen in WWE for a long time now could return to action and challenge the new champion with an interesting rivalry headling over to Money in the Bank and SummerSlam 2022.
