Ronda Rousey in embarrassing botch as WWE forced 'to edit SmackDown segment'

WWE bosses were left relieved that their latest SmackDown episode was pre-taped after Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair botched the contract signing for their title match at Wrestlemania.

Rousey, 35, ended a three-year hiatus from WWE by returning at January's Royal Rumble, and after her and Flair were left as the last two competitors, the former UFC star hurled 'The Queen' over the top rope to be declared the winner.
