It appears that Ronda Rousey’s appearance at the end of the Royal Rumble gave fans an indication as to whom she is going to be stepping into the ring with at WrestleMania 34.

It is apparently not going to be one of the 3 women Rousey was standing in the ring with, Asuka, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, but whom she interacted with outside of the ring.

The match has actually been in the works for a few years, dating back to WrestleMania 32 and is now in the works for WrestleMania 34.

According to sources, WWE is looking at a mixed-tag match that would pit Ronda Rousey and a male superstar against Stephanie McMahon and HHH.

Now, WWE’s top name for the spot is The Rock, as he was involved in the setup, but due to scheduling it is very hard to even pencil the Rock’s name in for the match, however WWE is going to give a “full court press”.

RAW general manager Kurt Angle has also been discussed as there were seeds planted for an Angle/HHH match back at Survivor Series and a tag-match could be best for all parties involved with Angle’e experience providing a leadership role for Rousey.

WWE could also entertain Roman Reigns, a longshot, in that spot with the hopes that Rousey’s popularity and the dislike for HHH and McMahon could help give Reigns a boost. But WWE is still intent on a Reigns/Lesnar main event.

Other names that could be considered are John Cena, if the Undertaker match that is penciled in for the event falls through and Batista, who has mentioned wanting to come back for one final WWE run and also has mentioned a desire to work with Triple H.

Former WWE star Lanny ‘The Genius’ Poffo has reportedly died at the age of 68, according to his close friend “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, although no cause of death has been given at the time of this writing.

Poffo made his in-ring debut with the All-South Wrestling Alliance back in 1974, and also wrestled for a number of promotions such as the National Wrestling Alliance where he won a tag-team title with his father, Angelo.

Poffo debuted for WWE back in 1985 where he would be known as “Leaping Lanny Poffo” and “The Genius.”

Poffo would return to WWE back in 2015 to induct his brother, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, into the WWE Hall of Fame in a touching induction ceremony ahead of WrestleMania 31.

“With a very, very heavy heart, I’ve been asked to let everyone know about the passing of our friend and colleague Lanny Poffo, The Genius,” Duggan said on Twitter.

Braun Strowman Talks Brock Lesnar Shooting On Him at Royal Rumble

WWE superstar Braun Strowman has had a number of memorable moments during his career at WWE, but none are quite like the 2018 Royal Rumble where Brock Lesnar got upset with Strowman for catching him with a knee.

Lesnar didn’t take to kindly and immediately hit Strowman with a flurry of legitimate punches, including a right hand to his jaw.

“Shit got real” Strowman said, during an interview with BT Sport.

“I mean, at the end of the day it’s two scary guys, two dominant males, not wanting to give an inch to either one, and we took it from each other. Things happen. We’re not playing, we’re not ballet, we’re not badminton. We’re physical. He’s [Lesnar] 300lbs, of just unadulterated animalistic beast and I’m a 385lbs monster. Things happen. At the end of the day, we made one hell of a segment, that’s what really happened.”

“I pat myself on the back. I think I’m the only person in history to take an overhand right from Brock Lesnar and not get knocked out. Anytime you get in the ring with “The Beast” and mix it up, the bigger the challenge the better. If you’re not wrestling the best, then who’d you beat?”
