WrestleMania 39’s Women’s Showcase Match didn’t have quite the array of talent the Men’s version did. But it did have Ronda Rousey, and a sense its winner was likely to get a shot at WWE Women’s Tag Team champions Becky Lynch & Lita in the not-too-distant future.
There was some question of how much Rousey would get in the match at all. She’s recovering from a fractured elbow, and figured to lean on her partner Shayna Baszler to get through Sun., April 2’s match and move on to a title shot she reportedly asked for.
Ronda mostly stayed out of the fray, which is smart seeing as we were treated to a run of dives to the outside... or in the case of Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan, a throw to the outside.

It was a pretty fun match, but it was all a set-up for the one thing Rousey did do. While her partner was dealing with some kind of footwear malfunction, Ronda tagged in, soaked in some boos, and got a quick tapout from Shotzi with an armbar.
Whenever that arm heals up, the champs could be in trouble.
