Everything you need to know about the conflict between Natalya and Ronda Rousey
Here is all you need to know about Ronda Rousey and Natalya’s conflict.
At WrestleMania Backlash in May, Ronda Rousey defeated Charlotte Flair in an I Quit match to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
She is scheduled to defend her championship at Money in the Bank on July 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada, after the ensuing high-profile live event, Hell in a Cell, on June 5. Natalya, the deceased Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart’s daughter, will be her opponent.
Recently, the two have begun using Twitter to trade insults. Additionally, on the Friday Night SmackDown episode from June 24, Natalya impersonated Rousey.

Do Natalya and Ronda disagree with one another?
Natayla and Rousey, who are good friends in real life, are only preparing for their match at the Money in the Bank event. But their conflict has gotten a lot of attention from spectators.
On the June 4 episode of SmackDown, Natalya defeated Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi, Aliyah, and Xia Li in a No. 1 contender’s match in order to challenge Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, which she last held in 2017.
Then, during Rousey’s championship defense against Shotzi the next week, Natalya sent her a message by placing her in the sharpshooter.
The two then began to abuse each other on Twitter.
Shayna Baszler, Rousey’s buddy and Natalya’s tag team partner, is also a party to the conflict. Prior to the June 24 SmackDown program, Rousey uploaded a video of her talk with Baszler to her social media sites. At that point, Baszler says she can’t get involved in the fight between Rousey and Natalya.
“A good friend wouldn’t make you pick,” wrote Natalya in response to the video on Twitter, tagging Baszler.
On Saturday, July 2, Money in the Bank broadcast from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
