In a recent revelation, an ex-WWE star disclosed Vince McMahon’s refusal to let Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch headline a significant event.
Back in 2018, Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella were featured as the main event for the Evolution pay-per-view. The match, for Rousey’s RAW Women’s Title, concluded with Rousey emerging victorious and retaining her championship.
In her newly released book, “The Baddest Woman On The Planet,” Rousey disclosed her desire for Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair to headline the same event.
