Jim Ross Wants A Ronda Rousey Vs. Becky Lynch Singles Match To Main Event WrestleMania

Jim Ross Wants A Ronda Rousey Vs. Becky Lynch Singles Match To Main Event WrestleMania

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross took the time on his recent podcast The Jim Ross Report to weigh-in on the current situation regarding the main event match at WrestleMania 35. As it stands in the world of professional wrestling, Ronda Rousey is set to defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair in the show-closing match.

With Becky Lynch ever-present, however, current plans are to have the three women face off in a triple threat match. Although this is what JR also expects to see, he believes that a standard triple threat bout is not the way to go.

“I do believe that Becky, Charlotte, and Ronda will be in the main event at WrestleMania,” Ross professed. “I believe it will be a triple threat match. If you really wanted to add some drama to it, and make somebody, [WWE] may consider Busted Open [Radio]’s Bubba Ray Dudley’s suggestion of making it an elimination match, so you’ve got to have two eliminations before one person’s declared the winner. And to me, that’s not a bad idea whatsoever.”

An elimination triple threat would be a suspenseful main event and could draw fewer parallels to Daniel Bryan’s closing win at WrestleMania XXX. Even that isn’t what Ross truly wants to see either as a singles match between Lynch and Rousey is preferred.

“People are getting all upset about this triple threat thing and the suspension, and the potential for a triple threat match,” Ross said. “Hey, I’m like a lot of folks. I’m not sitting here blind. I would rather see Becky Lynch versus Ronda Rousey because that issue became so strong and so personal. I’d rather see, finally, those two one-on-one, but that doesn’t look like the way it’s going and there may be reasons for that you and I aren’t aware of. We don’t know how much longer Ronda’s going to be there, if she’s going to start a family. It’s not exactly something you can mark on your calendar.”

Ross also gave his thoughts on the idea that Seth Rollins is not a believable contender to Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship due to his size. After all, Eddie Guerrero managed to get a win over ‘The Beast’ and he was in no way a giant.

“Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar to win the WWE title in the Cow Palace, right? 15 years ago. So when people say, ‘well, so-and-so, Finn Bálor, is not big enough to beat Brock Lesnar. It’s not realistic. It’s not believable.’ Are you kidding? Are you that stupid? Same thing with Seth Rollins. He’s no giant, but he’s a hell of a lot bigger than Eddie Guerrero, he’s bigger than Finn Bálor, so I hope we don’t get that excuse, ‘Seth Rollins is too small.’ He’s not. And there [are] a million right ways to beat Brock Lesnar.” Ross continued, “Brock Lesnar has a lot more respect for his income than his win/loss record. Trust me on that. So I wonder if Lesnar taking Eddie Guerrero for granted in the Cow Palace 15 years ago to lose the WWE title will have any bearing on how he prepares for a smaller guy. Interesting sidebar story, don’t you think?”

Couldn’t agree more, Jim.
