WWE is on the road to WrestleMania, and that could include a few changes along the way. The company planned for Ronda Rousey to team up with Shayna Baszler for a match against Tegan Nox and Natalya, but it doesn’t appear that is going down now.

WWE added a big match to SmackDown this week with Sami Zayn vs Solo Sikoa. Although fans will be happy about that addition to the card, it appears that another big match was nixed.

The company’s latest updated lineup for WWE SmackDown this week does not list Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler vs Tegan Nox and Natalya. Only time will tell if Rousey and Baszler will be used in another way.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team division was shaken up in a big way with Lita and Becky Lynch’s title win. The projected destination for Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler also seems to be a WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match at WrestleMania.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes’ confrontation will still likely go down, because they are both still listed for the episode. Liv Morgan is also still slated to take on Rhea Ripley in a match that will see the final two competitors in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble throw down.

We have less than 30 days until WrestleMania 39, so things are certainly heating up. This week’s SmackDown looks to be a big episode, and we will have complete coverage here at Ringside News. You can check out the updated lineup below.
