5 Dream Opponents for Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey is well on her way to a title run at Summerslam. The former UFC Champion has done nothing short of dominate any competition in front of her since she debuted at WrestleMania 34. Alexa Bliss definitely doesn't seem like the kind of opponent that can stop the rampage of "Rowdy" Rousey, so we can only assume that Rousey will be defending the Raw Women's Championship between Summerslam and WrestleMania.

With the amount of talent on Raw, Smackdown, and NXT, not to mention the women who are working the Mae Young Classic, there's a ton of talent for Rousey to work with who could potentially steal a show.

With a WWE that features the Four Horsewomen, Asuka, and Ember Moon, just to name a few, there are many dream opponents for Ronda Rousey to face off against in her tenure with the WWE.

#5 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks would be a perfect opponent for Ronda Rousey, especially early on in her Raw Women's Championship reign. With four Raw title reigns under her belt, not to mention her run as NXT WOmen's Champion, Sasha has taken on the best that the WWE has to offer.

With the fantastic technical ability that Sasha possesses, along with the selling that she brings to the table, no one can make Ronda Rousey look better than the Boss. To top it off, if there's someone who can bring out Rousey's ability on the mic, it's Sasha Banks.

And with the tease of a Four Horsewomen vs Four Horsewomen feud at the first Mae Young Classic, why not begin her reign atop Raw's women's division with a victory over a member of the WWE's Four Horsewomen?

#4 Ember Moon

Another great opening opponent for Ronda Rousey's inevitable title reign is former NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon.

Moon has a flare about her that few in the WWE possess. Moon's presence and entrance alone prove that she's a bonafide star. A feud between Moon and Rousey could lead to some interesting confrontations. Not to mention how great the build could be based around Moon's Eclipse.

Since her debut, the Eclipse has been treated as one of the most deadly finishers in the company, as it should. It's laid out the likes of Nikki Cross, Peyton Royce, Alexa Bliss, and Ruby Riott just to name a few. When she hits the Eclipse, her opponent stays down. Having Moon sneak in the ring during a Rousey promo only to leave the future champion face down thanks to a stunning Eclipse would be a great segment to end on before they had their PPV match.

"Will Ronda Rousey prove that she's the baddest woman on the planet, or will she be Eclipsed by Ember Moon?"

#3 Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler was initially looked down upon by many fans when she debuted at the Mae Young Classic. However, she quickly proved herself with multiple great performances worthy of an NXT Champion. And it wasn't long until she did indeed win the NXT Woman's Title, putting away Ember Moon at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans.

Baszler's run at the Mae Young Classic was somewhat overshadowed by Ronda Rousey, who was ringside during each of her matches to support her friend. However, someone like Baszler could twist that around, claiming that Rousey only showed up to steal the spotlight before she was given a spot on the main roster, while Shayna Baszler had to climb her way to the top like everybody else.

A debuting Baszler could choke out Rousey after a successful title defence, then spend the next four weeks stalking Rousey while intimidating and breaking down the rest of Raw's roster. Not to mention a title match between two former MMA fighters could be a fantastic bout that would not only solidify Rousey's title reign but give the fans a reason to take Baszler as a serious threat almost immediately.

Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler is a feud that could last a few months, allowing both men the time to really show off their MMA skills against each other.

#2 Asuka

The Empress of Tomorrow won't let Ronda Rousey impede on her dominance over the WWE

Asuka spent a year and a half completely dominating NXT. Running through stars like Bayley, Nikki Cross, Peyton Royce, and Ember Moon, Asuka's reign as NXT Women's Champion is still considered by many to be the greatest title reign in NXT history.

Her time on the main roster has also been impressive, especially since she won the first ever Women's Royal Rumble. However, her moment was stolen from her by the debuting Ronda Rousey, who strolled down the ring to take away her spotlight.

The eyes of the WWE Universe should've been on the Empress, but they instead fell on Ronda, and Asuka would not have forgotten that moment.

Asuka's brutal hard-hitting style mixed with her submission expertise would allow her to hold her own against Ronda Rousey, even leaving fans wondering if Rousey could weather the storm of the Empress of Tomorrow.

#1 Charlotte Flair

Could the Queen finally end the reign of Ronda Rousey?

This is the fight that the WWE has been building to since the first Mae Young Classic. Ronda Rousey and Charlotte are the most successful of their respective groups, and in a feud between two sets of Four Horsewomen, what better way to end it than have Charlotte try to end the reign of Ronda Rousey?

Charlotte moving to Smackdown Live earlier this year seemed like a move that was made so they wouldn't get to this match before WrestleMania 35. With the star power of Ronda and the legacy of Charlotte Flair, a title bout between these two could actually main event WrestleMania.

In fact, both women could walk in holding their brands' respective titles, looking to unify them and see, once and for all, who is the most dominant woman in the WWE. Charlotte's reasoning could also stem from jealousy, as her triumphant victory over the formerly undefeated Asuka was overshadowed by Ronda Rousey's debut match.

This is the #1 dream match for Ronda Rousey. There is no better option. Charlotte and Ronda can, and might, main event WrestleMania next year.
