Rousey Gives Reason for Lynch Match Cancellation

The fans eagerly waited for a Ronda Rousey versus Becky Lynch bout but the much-anticipated bout did not materialize. Originally planned as a WWE Survivor Series event in 2018, Lynch had an injury forcing the replacement by Charlotte Flair.

It resurfaced for WrestleMania 35 but, as always, with Flair, it became a triple threat. In a recent interview, Rousey gives a lot of insights on why the match did not happen and this has revived hopes for this bout. Let’s dive into this article and learn in-depth about it.

Rousey vs. Lynch: The Dream Match That Never Was

Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch were once set to clash in what fans believed would be an epic match. The much-anticipated singles match between the two at WWE Survivor Series 2018 never happened, though. A last-minute injury to Lynch forced a change, leading to Charlotte Flair stepping in instead. While this moment propelled Lynch to new levels of stardom, it left fans wondering if they would ever see Rousey and Lynch clash one-on-one.

WrestleMania 35 seemed like the perfect stage for this showdown. But once again, Charlotte Flair was added to it, turning the match into a triple match. The idea of a singles bout between Rousey and Lynch was still in the minds of fans, who eagerly awaited Rousey’s return to WWE, hoping the dream match would finally happen.

In a revealing interview with Chris Van Vliet, Rousey opened up about why the match never materialized. Her blunt response? “I don’t know, Vince (McMahon) is an 80-year-old assh*le,” she said, hinting at the frustrations she experienced during her time with the company.

Rousey’s second WWE run didn’t capture the same energy as her first, but the rivalry she and Lynch built—both in the ring and on social media—made a potential singles match between them an exciting prospect. Fans bought into their feud wholeheartedly, adding to the disappointment that it never reached its full potential.

Could Rousey vs. Lynch to Still Happen? The Door Remains Open

Could such a match still happen in the future? It’s not impossible. At the moment, neither Ronda nor Lynch is signed with WWE, but the option remains open. Lynch is currently without a contract and still a free agent and Rousey while she has been quite vocal in her distaste for the WWE may want to come back now that McMahon is out of the picture.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon received positive feelings from Ronda, she said, “They are amazing, I like them” This statement can point toward a comeback under new management. But no matter whether fate will have it that these two wrestling legends will ever actually get to face off in the ring.

Some fans are still waiting for the bout between Rousey and Lynch. While Rousey and Lynch’s dream match never materialized, the door isn’t closed. With WWE’s leadership shifting and both stars currently free agents, fans remain hopeful for this epic showdown.
