Becky Lynch versus Ronda Rousey may no longer be happening at Survivor Series, but it could go down at WrestleMania 35.
To say that this weekend's Survivor Series card was shaken up somewhat on SmackDown Live would be the understatement of the century. For starters, we are no longer getting a rematch between AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar. The Phenomenal One lost his WWE Title to Daniel Bryan on Tuesday night. That means Bryan will now get the chance to take down The Beast.
The match between the two women's champions has also drastically changed. On Raw this week, Becky Lynch suffered a pretty nasty facial injury. The Man had blood pouring down her face yet still managed to give Ronda Rousey a beating. However, her injuries mean that she has been removed from the match. Lynch has handpicked Charlotte Flair to take her place.

Flair taking up the mantle likely came as something of a shock to many fans. Simply because Rousey versus Flair was rumored to be taking place at WrestleMania 35. According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, WWE has already discussed what will take its place. Meltzer is of the belief that the two matches will simply swap places. That's right, we could now be on the road to seeing Lynch versus Rousey at WrestleMania.
Not only is Lynch versus Rousey now penciled in for WrestleMania 35, there is also still talk that it could be the main event. Judging by the way the fans react to both competitors at this moment in time, it would make more sense than Flair being in that spot. Yes, most of us want to see Flair take on The Rowdy One, but the past few months have seen Lynch become a bigger star than The Queen.
WWE is used to having to switch things up overnight, and this is a major example of that. Creative couldn't just stick Flair in the match without thinking about it. They will have basically had to book Flair, Rousey, and Lynch's paths from now until WrestleMania first of all. The likelihood is that Flair and Lynch will simply swap places. That might mean The Lass Kicker wins the women's Royal Rumble in January and could even be the first person to defeat Rousey in WWE.
