Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey could be back for WrestleMania
This year’s WrestleMania 36 was forced to be held at the WWE Performance Center over two nights and in front of no fans due to the pandemic.
Now speculation is mounting that plans are already underway to take the Show of Shows to Tampa in March.
And WWE’s boss knows one of the main events he wants – Rousey vs Lynch.
That is according to Paul Davis of WrestlingNews, who said: “Vince is hoping for Becky to be back in January or February to start the one on one feud with Ronda.
“Vince wants WrestleMania to be the show that says ‘WWE is back’. We can’t do Becky vs. Ronda in the Thunderdome with no fans.
“He wants the fans back and they will be back by the time Mania rolls around.”
UFC Hall of Famer ‘Rowdy’, 33, famously arrived on the wrestling scene at the 2018 Royal Rumble and debuted at that year’s WrestleMania.
She worked a full-time schedule with the company and soon captured the Raw Women’s Title until Lynch controversially took it from her at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019.
Rousey has not been seen on WWE TV since after taking time away to try and start a family with husband Travis Browne, despite dropping several hints of a comeback.
Meanwhile, Lynch is also currently out of action after announcing in April she and her fiance Seth Rollins were expecting their first child.
Despite their respective absences from TV, the war of words has always continued between the two women.
And Rousey recently cranked it up again in a row over the new WWE 2K Battlegrounds game on her Facebook page.
