Lynch and Rousey are set for action tonight at WWE’s first ever all-women’s Pay-Per-View event Evolution at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York.

The Irish Lass Kicker will defend her title against Charlotte Flair in the first ever Last Woman Standing Match whereas the UFC legend will put the RAW Women’s Championship on the line against Nikki Bella.

The Smackdown Women’s Champion answered questions on Reddit and was asked if she would ever square off against ‘Rowdy’.

The 31-year-old grappler replied that she will plan her next move after facing Charlotte but is keen to lock horns with ‘Rowdy’, whom she described as a slot machine.

Lynch said: “Ronda’s jaw is always running but my fist is itching to catch up with her.

“Charlotte first, and then I’ll plan my next move.

“But I’ve said it before: Ronda reminds me of a slot machine — the harder you kick her, the more money falls out.”

Lynch has gained immense popularity among the WWE Universe thanks to her new heel character and mean spirit.

She won the Smackdown Women’s Championship at Hell in a Cell from Charlotte a few weeks after the two NXT heroes sparked their heated rivalry at SummerSlam.

Rousey has been dominating the women’s division ever since her unforgettable debut match at WrestleMania 34 last April.

The first ever UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion teamed up with fellow Olympian Kurt Angle and destroyed Stephanie McMahon as well as Triple H in a Mixed Tag Team Match.

The 31-year-old fighter was so impressive on her wrestling bow that WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon awarded her with a RAW Women’s Championship Match against then champion Nia Jax at Money in the Bank.

The MMA hero came close to making Jax tap out to her signature Armbar submission hold but won via disqualification after Alexa Bliss cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase and regained the title.

Rousey, however, got her revenge as she annihilated Bliss at SummerSlam and became the first ever female athlete to win a top title in WWE and UFC.

Survivor Series takes place on November 18 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and the two women’s champions could square off that night as last year WWE ran a RAW vs Smackdown angle and then Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte defeated RAW Women’s Champion Bliss.
