Rousey is headed to SmackDown to announce which title she's going to challenge for at WrestleMania 38. For the first time in nearly three years, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey returned to Monday Night Raw following her remarkable Royal Rumble victory. ##
Rousey appeared during the main event segment of Raw tonight. But she didn't announce which title she's going to challenge for at WrestleMania 38. Rousey said she'll reveal the decision on SmackDown this Friday. Rousey delivered a hot promo saying that she has unfinished business with both Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch and SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair. ##
During the prom, Lynch would follow up and confronted Rousey. Lynch wanted a decision from Rousey, but Rousey took her down with an arm throw. Rousey said Lynch will have her decision this Friday. ##
The Baddest Woman on the Planet made her return to WWE in epic fashion as the No. 28 entrant in the Royal Rumble Match, recording four eliminations, including SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, to earn the milestone victory. ##
--The return of Drew McIntyre ##
Per WWE announcement, the former WWE champion Drew McIntyre is set to make his return to SmackDown. Drew McIntyre made a shocking comeback in last Saturday’s Royal Rumble Match, returning from his severe neck injury months earlier than expected! ##
At Royal Rumble, he sent both Corbin and Moss over the top rope, The Scottish Warrior battled all the way to the end of the high-stakes free-for-all before being the last Superstar eliminated by the victorious Brock Lesnar. ##
Paul Heyman rejoins Universal Champion Roman Reigns ##
At Royal Rumble, Paul Heyman betrayed his client Brock Lesnar when he helped Roman Reigns interfere in The Beast’s match with Bobby Lashley, costing Lesnar the WWE Championship in the process. With the WWE Universe in shock, Heyman then took his leave alongside The Head of the Table. ##
Heyman will rejoin Reigns on SmackDown. ##

Natalya & Shayna Baszler Vs. Aliyah & Shotzi ##
Last Friday, Shayna Baszler, Aliyah, Natalya, and Shotzi all emerged to position themselves heading into last Saturday’s Royal Rumble Match. It was also the surprise return of Sasha Banks that truly shook things up. ##
Moments after The Boss declared her intention to enter the Rumble, she slapped The Queen and kicked off all-out bedlam between all the competitors in the ring. So, we could see a Tag Team match. ##
Goldberg Set To Challenge Roman Reigns For The Universal Title At Elimination Chamber ##
Per Fightful, the plan for Bill Goldberg is to return to WWE imminently. The working plan has been for Goldberg to work the upcoming Elimination Chamber event in Saudi Arabia. ##
Goldberg would be challenging Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. The match was set to take place for the title two years ago at WrestleMania, but Reigns withdrew from the match at the start of the pandemic and didn't return until August 2020. ##
Considering how much WWE creative has changed in recent weeks, this is hardly a given. Last year, Bill Goldberg claimed in Sports Illustrated that he had one match remaining on his deal, though in other interviews, he'd said he's signed through 2023. Those we spoke to believe his deal is up after his upcoming match. ##
Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. Sami Zayn To Be Announced ##
The champion had been out with an arm injury since the December 2021 WWE Live event. Before the 2022 Royal Rumble event, he announced on his Instagram Stories that he has been cleared for "fighting." ##
So, WWE is likely to go with the impending match between Sami Zayn and Nakamura. On the December 24th edition of SmackDown...Ricochet, Cesaro, Mansoor, Erik, Ivar, Drew Gulak, Sheamus, Sami Zayn, Jinder Mahal, Shanky, Angel, and Humberto competed in a “12 Days of Christmas” 12-Man Gauntlet Match with the winner receiving an Intercontinental Championship Match! ##
He got the final pinfall and by virtue of winning the 12-man gauntlet, thus he gets to face Nakamura for the IC Title. ##
Big E To Defeat Happy Corbin In A Singles Match ##
One night before the high-stakes Royal Rumble Match, Big E joined his New Day brethren Kofi Kingston for the first time in 18 months on a quest to turn the clowns upside down in a battle against the laughing duo of Madcap Moss & Happy Corbin. ##
In the final moments of the hard-fought matchup, Big E hurled Corbin into the steel steps and pinned Moss for the win. ##
