Ronda Rousey Shares The Prank That She Wanted To Pull On Next Week’s Episode Of RAW

News broke on Monday that the RAW Women’s Championship match will be main eventing Wrestlemania 35. Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair will be going on last at the event, making it the first-ever Women’s main event in Wrestlemania history.

In an interview on her website, Ronda Rousey shared how she found out about the news that she will be main eventing. It turns out that she was planning an April Fools Day prank prior to the match being announced.

Here is what Ronda said:

“I found out from Paul Heyman. And the reason I found out is I sent him this long text, basically saying: ‘Hey, Paul, let’s do an April Fool’s Day joke on April Fool’s Day on RAW, saying that I’m pregnant and that the women are no longer the main event in WrestleMania, because I’m out.’ Then at the end of the show, we can say, “April Fool’s!”

Then he called me back immediately, and he said, ‘Yeah, great idea and all, but they’re going to announce to all major outlets and everything that the women are actually going to main event, this Monday. So we can’t do your April Fool’s Day joke. They’re making that official, official.’ I was like, oh, shoot! So yeah, Paul Heyman told me is the short version of the answer. But he told me to explain why I couldn’t do my April Fool’s Day joke and tell everyone I’m pregnant”
