‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey was a crucial addition to the WWE’s women division and gave a more ruthless and aggressive touch to the women’s locker room. Chiefly, former SmackDown Women’s champion, Sasha Banks is still down for a match with the former Raw Women’s champion.

Banks and Ronda butted heads with each other back when Ronda was still wrestling for Vince McMahon’s company. The two egos collided at the Royal Rumble PPV in 2019, a match which Ronda won.
