#5 Ronda Rousey swerves us all
A lot of fans tuned in to RAW this week, to see Ronda Rousey show up following her Royal Rumble appearance. Many of them were disappointed that she wasn't on RAW. Maybe it was never planned for her to be on RAW anyway. Maybe she has SmackDown Live on her mind.
If Rousey decided to go after Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship at WrestleMania 34, she could initiate a program as early as this week. It would get eyeballs on a show that has a serious dearth of stars. Rousey would be just the shot in the arm that SmackDown Live needs.
Rousey vs. Flair seems like a bigger match than Rousey vs. Bliss anyway. The two women could put on a match for the ages.
