As seen on Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Ronda Rousey challenged SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair to a rematch at WrestleMania: Backlash, requesting the match be fought under “I Quit” rules. Charlotte Flair would go on to answer Rousey’s request, rejecting her challenge.
Despite this, Rousey petitioned to get the match signed and WWE officials agreed to it on Saturday afternoon.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey (“I Quit” Match)
At WrestleMania Backlash, Ronda Rousey will look to make Charlotte Flair scream “I Quit” when she challenges her for the SmackDown Women’s Title in a highly-anticipated rematch.
Despite the fact that Rousey made Flair tap out at WrestleMania, she did not win the title due to the referee being knocked out when it happened. Although Flair was able to squeak out a victory, Rousey returned to SmackDown the following Friday and wasted little time challenging The Opportunity to an “I Quit” Match.
In response to the bold challenge, Flair refused and told The Rowdy One to get to the back of the line. Not to be outdone, though, The Baddest Woman on the Planet insisted the rematch will happen and that Charlotte will scream “no” when she turns the titleholder’s arm backward. She later petitioned to have the rematch, and WWE Management made it official on WWE Talking Smack.
Don’t miss all the action of WrestleMania Backlash, streaming live on Sunday, May 8, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
