The initial belief was that WWE was going to do Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair at the Royal Rumble and Ronda vs. Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35. With Sasha Banks suddenly being booked as Rousey’s opponent for the Royal Rumble, that could possibly open the door for WWE saving a Ronda vs. Charlotte match for Elimination Chamber.
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com also noted that WWE could now be building towards a triple threat between Ronda, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch for Wrestlemania 35:
“It’s not official that it’s gonna be a three-way at WrestleMania, it sure seems that way, yes. I was told it’s not official, it’s under consideration and because it’s under consideration the decision was made to pull the match from the Royal Rumble. Which means they’re leaning toward it.”
