Update on 36-year-old star's WrestleMania 39 status after suffering an injury on WWE SmackDown - Reports

With WrestleMania season truly upon us, WWE will need all its top stars to be available for the biggest wrestling event of the year. The company's women's division suffered a major blow on this week's SmackDown as Ronda Rousey injured her arm. A new report has provided an update on the superstar's WrestleMania status.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet has turned her attention to the tag team division after losing the SmackDown Women's Championship to Charlotte Flair. She has been teaming up with Shayna Baszler over the last few weeks.

The duo were slated to take on Tegan Nox and Natalya on the blue brand. However, Rousey had her arm in a sling after an earlier brawl on the show and did not wrestle in the scheduled match. She instead stood at ringside as Shayna Baszler defeated Tegan Nox in a singles match.

PWTorch shed further light on the situation, reporting that Ronda aggravated a previous injury on Friday night. The report, however, stated that she'll be clear to complete by the time of WrestleMania 39.

Rousey and Shayna Baszler have been welcome additions to the promotion's tag team division. According to a recent report, the Baddest Woman on the Planet is pushing to win the Women's Tag Team title at WrestleMania 39.

Ronda is pushing for the tag titles. That’s the match that she wants and whatever she wants she gets," stated a source to WrestlingNews.

It was also noted that Rousey was previously booked to defend the SmackDown Women's Championship against the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley. However, plans have changed in the last few weeks as Charlotte Flair returned to dethrone the former UFC star. The Queen will now face The Nightmare at the Showcase of Immortals.
