I believe the answer is:

shearer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'move to become match of the day pundit?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'the woman making rare' is the wordplay.
'the woman' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'making' is an anagram indicator.
'rare' is an anagram of 'arer'.
'she'+'arer'='SHEARER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shearer that I've seen before include "Wool cutter - ex-England footballer" , "Sheep barber?" , "Alan - - , Newcastle striker" , "who was really on the ball?" , "One that's fleeced" .)
