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.
Many expected 'Rowdy' to then utilise her title shot, traditionally granted to the winner of the Rumble, to gain revenge on Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch - who won the Triple Threat match between the pair, and Flair, at Wrestlemania 35.
