The Rowdy Ronda Rousey will defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Natalya at WWE Money in the Bank on July 2nd. On this past week’s Friday Night SmackDown, their rivalry got personal.
The Queen of Harts Natalya dressed up as the Rousey and even brought a baby stroller down to the ring on the recent edition of SmackDown. During the promo, she claimed that the Sharpshooter is deadlier than the armbar and suggested that Ronda forfeit the title, grab a diaper bag, and leave WWE while she can.
The SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey also had a great response, noting that the closest Natalya will ever get to being a main attraction in WWE is to dress up like her.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio has now speculated that the segment was pitched by the champion Ronda Rousey and was likely not the work of WWE’s creative team.
“It is not what the writers would come up with. As soon as I saw it I knew, ‘okay this is not from the writing team, this is not from Bruce Prichard’. I kind of like, ‘What is this?’, and I was thinking it could be a number of different people. It’s Ronda. Ronda wants to do something out of the box, and she’s doing something out of the box.” (H/T: BodySlam.net)
