The SmackDown Women’s Championship will be defended by Charlotte Flair against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania Backlash in an “I Quit” match. The event takes place on May 8 and this match is so far the first bout confirmed for the women.
At WrestleMania 38, Flair retained the title against Rousey despite the Baddest Woman on the Planet saying that she was going to cause The Queen to tap out. On Friday’s SmackDown, Rousey challenged Flair to an “I Quit” match. Flair told her no and to get in the back of the line but Rousey has been granted the match regardless.
Per WWE:
Despite the fact that Rousey made Flair tap out at WrestleMania, she did not win the title due to the referee being knocked out when it happened. Although Flair was able to squeak out a victory, Rousey returned to SmackDown the following Friday and wasted little time challenging The Opportunity to an “I Quit” Match.
In response to the bold challenge, Flair refused and told The Rowdy One to get to the back of the line. Not to be outdone, though, The Baddest Woman on the Planet insisted the rematch will happen and that Charlotte will scream “no” when she turns the titleholder’s arm backward. She later petitioned to have the rematch, and WWE Management made it official on WWE Talking Smack.
