1. Hype Building For Confirmed Mix Tag Team Match At WrestleMania
In only a few appearances so far, Ronda Rousey has done a great job of fitting in successfully in the crazy world that is pro wrestling. The Rowdy One has made an immediate impact and seemed destined for a key match at WrestleMania 34.
Last night officially confirmed what key match she will be taking place in. The show began with GM Kurt Angle in the ring and he called out Triple H after The Game sucker punched Angle last week to close out the show. Instead of Triple coming out immediately, Stephanie McMahon was the one who approached Angle.
She tried subtly intimidating Angle by putting his job in perspective until Rousey came out and made her intentions clear. She said she wanted a match with Stephanie at WrestleMania, which resulted in Triple H immediately coming to the ring. Stephanie said Rousey’s WrestleMania opponent must be an active member of the roster, so she couldn’t be her opponent.
But Angle said both Triple H and Stephanie have two contracts, one as an executive and one as a wrestler. He then made the match official for WrestleMania pitting Triple H and Stephanie against himself and Rousey before Angle put The Game in the ankle lock and Rousey samoan dropped Stephanie. This segment was outstanding and really helped build the hype and anticipation for this marquee mixed tag team match.
