Let’s of new rumors are going around involving Ronda Rousey, so we’ll see what’s new
with her.
We’ll also check out some big comments from Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and more
Let’s start things off with Ronda Rousey because there’s a lot of story developments
and rumors going around right now with her that has fans asking lots of questions
So Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler have been paired up for a majority of Ronda’s second
run with the company
Ronda and Shayna are close friends in real life and always wanted to work with each other
in WWE, but they barely just missed each other during Ronda’s first run in WWE
Ronda left WWE right after Wrestlemania 35 in 2019, and Shayna Baszler would end up getting
called up to the main roster in early 2020
So they were close to almost crossing paths, but it obviously didn’t happen there
But it did happen during Ronda’s second run
Even when Ronda was the Smackdown women’s champion, Shayna Baszler was right there by
her side
And once Ronda dropped the Smackdown women’s title, Ronda and Shayna’s main focus shifted
to winning the women’s tag team titles
They had an impressive showing as a tag team at Wrestlemania when they won the women’s
tag team showcase
Then it was only a few weeks after that where they finally accomplished their main goal
and became women’s tag team champions
Ronda and Shayna would then follow that up by unifying their titles with the NXT women’s
tag team titles as well
Which was instantly followed up by the returning Liv Morgan
That set up Ronda and Shayna versus Liv and Raquel for the tag team titles
And when we first talked about that matchup, we discussed how it makes sense for Ronda
and Shayna to easily retain their titles since their title reign was still pretty young
But to everyone’s surprise, things took a big turn in many ways at Money In The Bank
Ronda and Shayna were absolutely dominating Liv Morgan and focusing their attacks on her
injured shoulder
Shayna went to tag in a fresh Ronda Rousey, but Shayna comes right back into the ring
to brutally attack Ronda Rousey and betrays her
Shayna destroyed Ronda and left the ring, which Liv and Raquel capitalized on by hitting
some moves on Ronda and securing the win for the tag team titles
Liv Morgan was the one who picked up the pin-fall victory over Ronda Rousey, it’s Liv’s
third win over Ronda Rousey over the last calendar year, so a big stat there for Liv
Fans also quickly discovered that Shayna Baszler was doing a lot of storytelling and foreshadowing
through her ring gears
Shayna’s recent few gears have been themed after Warhammer 40K, and within that world,
the colors Shayna wore at Money In The Bank represented betrayal, so Shayna was hinting
at the moment from the second she stepped out in the arena
If Shayna continues theming her gears after Warhammer and if she does have a match with
Ronda Rousey, it’s looking like the gear for that that match could be an all black
gear for Shayna
But getting back to Shayna’s betrayal on Ronda, some fans feel like the moment just
felt a bit rushed, random, and out of place at Money In The Bank
Not to mention that this betrayal now adds to the long history and strain of bad luck
following those women’s tag team titles
But there may be a solid reason why the split felt a bit rushed
Reports are now claiming that Ronda Rousey is on her way out of the WWE and that exit
date is quickly approaching
The exact date of Ronda Rousey’s final appearance still isn’t known, but fans are speculating
and wondering if it could possibly be Summerslam
And assuming that it is, then that’s why WWE had to step on the gas a bit for Ronda
and Shayna’s feud
Not only did Ronda and Shayna want to work together as a tag team in WWE, they also wanted
to face each other, so it looks like they’re finally getting that wish, and Shayna may
very well be Ronda’s final feud and opponent inside the WWE ring
With all the rumors and buzz about Ronda Rousey being on her way out of WWE, fans have already
begun wondering if Ronda versus Shayna could feature a ‘loser leaves WWE’ type of stipulation
for their match and maybe that’s how they’ll explain Ronda’s exit
That’s a possibility for sure, or they can just have Shayna brutally attack Ronda Rousey
after their match and have that be the last time that Ronda Rousey gets seen in the WWE
ring
That would be a huge moment and obviously would be Ronda Rousey putting over Shayna
Baszler in a major way there
If Shayna Baszler turns out to be the one who forced Ronda Rousey out of WWE, it’s
gonna set up Shayna in a major way and give her a lot of momentum to get back in the world
title scene
A lot of fans forget that Shayna Baszler was once an extremely scary and unstoppable force
in NXT
So is taking Ronda Rousey out of WWE the first step in Shayna returning to her true roots
and getting her edge back?
It seems like big things are quickly coming up on the horizon for Shayna Baszler
————————-
Let’s get into some topics with Cody Rhodes because there’s a lot to go over there with
him
Cody Rhodes made headlines for his comments at the Money In The Bank press conference
He was asked about the WWE world heavyweight championship, and if winning that title would
count as finishing his story of winning a WWE world title
Cody Rhodes gave all the credit in the world to Seth Rollins and the world heavyweight
title, but he said that winning that title doesn’t count as finishing the story
Cody Rhodes said that winning the WWE title, the exact title that his father didn’t get
his hands on is what counts as finishing the story
And this is basically what fans already figured, but it’s nice to still have that confirmation
and clarity from Cody Rhodes
He said that winning the world title would be nice, but that’s not what his mission
is about
So those remarks right there obviously could be hinting at another meeting down the line
between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes
And right as Cody Rhodes made those comments, there was just a report going around about
how Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes is currently one of the rumored main events for Wrestlemania
40
So if that rumor is true, Cody may have another opportunity to finish his story at next year’s
Wrestlemania
And maybe that is the moment where it goes down at
Sure, Roman will be in year four of his title reign, but who knows what things would look
like at that point of time
Maybe Roman literally has no bloodline members by his side anymore and is more vulnerable
than ever before
While Cody on the other hand could be stronger than ever before.
He spent the last year picking up wins over Brock Lesnar, and other big superstars, and
finally came back to Roman Reigns even better than he was at Wrestlemania 39
That could be what they’re setting up here, so Roman and Cody could once again be on another
collision course to face each other in 2024
And in other Cody Rhodes related news, WWE teased another big future feud for Cody Rhodes
on the July 3rd edition of Raw
After defeating Dominik Mysterio at Money In The Bank, Cody Rhodes came out and appeared
to be ready to exchange some words with his old rival Seth Rollins
But Cody was barely able to get a word out before he was interrupted by Brock Lesnar
So there’s a lot to take in here from this moment as well
Had Brock Lesnar never come out, Cody Rhodes possibly could’ve reignited his feud with
Seth Rollins, this time for the world heavyweight title
Despite Cody saying that winning that title doesn’t count as finishing the story, he
still wants an opportunity to get his hands on that title either way for sure
So it looks like that was moments away from happening.
Cody defeated Seth Rollins three straight times in 2022, so you just know that he probably
feels like he has Seth Rollins’ number and likes his odds against him
But Brock Lesnar played spoiler for that situation
Brock’s return is confirmation to everyone’s speculation that Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar
will have their third match with each other at Summerslam
A Summerslam meeting between the both of them is something that has been rumored to happen
for a while now and it will apparently have a special stipulation as well
But assuming that Cody Rhodes takes care of Brock Lesnar at Summerslam, it looks like
that feud could give him the momentum needed to go after Seth Rollins and the world heavyweight
title
So considering it was already teased and how he could possibly score a big Summerslam win
over Brock Lesnar, it looks like Cody versus Seth could pick back up sometime in the near
future after Summerslam
