What's the story?

RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey will face SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch in the main event of WrestleMania, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

In case you didn't know...

Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch were scheduled to face this Sunday at Survivor Series, as the show is featuring several cross-brand Champion Vs. Champion matches.

This week on RAW, Lynch was injured by Nia Jax, suffering a bloodied nose and concussion, with WWE removing her from this Sunday's show.

On SmackDown, Lynch picked former friend and rival to replace her at the Pay Per View.

The heart of the matter

According to the Observer, Rousey met with Vince McMahon after this week's RAW, with the pair agreeing to postpone the match until WrestleMania 35.

Due to the promos between the two, as well as Lynch's massive popularity since turning heel, the company definitely planned on having the match, even after the injury.

This is why the broken nose has been featured so prominently on WWE programming since RAW, as the company wants to add literal bad blood to the feud.

Interestingly, the rumored WrestleMania main event was going to be Charlotte Flair Vs. Ronda Rousey, the first female WrestleMania main event, though has been moved forward to this Sunday, with Flair being chosen by the Lass Kicker on SmackDown.
