With Becky Lynch out of this Sunday’s Survivor Series Match against Ronda Rousey due to a concussion and a broken face, WWE was scrambling to figure out a new program for RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey for The PPV. PWInsider.com also confirmed that Lynch is sidelined and they reported that WWE Officials were discussing a scenario where Becky will quickly drop the title to another woman, who would then go onto face Rousey on Sunday.

 

Under this scenario, Charlotte Flair, Mandy Rose and one of The IIconics were discussed as possible replacements, but WWE went ahead with Charlotte Flair despite the fact that this match would be a significant fast track of a potential WrestleMania 35 Main Event whereas the other two would be a significant downgrade and would not make much sense.

 

As previously reported, another possibility is that WWE keeps the title on Lynch and simply pushes back her match against Rousey to next year’s Royal Rumble in January.
