After the match, Natalya raises her arm in a show of respect.
...
Why doesn't Rousey want to put Natalya away? This is a typical WWE babyface move.

Natalya counters Rousey and goes for the sharpshooter but takes too long, as Rousey kicks her away. Rousey hits the piper's pit and takes Natalya's arm. She hesitates and takes too long and Natalya counters her into a sharpshooter in the middle of the ring!

Rousey crawls but Natalya pulls her in the middle. Natalya is smiling and seems certain that the end is near for Rousey but the champion rolls up and counters her into an armbar. Natalya taps and Rousey lets her go even earlier than usual. After the match, Rousey seems regretful and consoles Natalya. They embrace after the match.

...
The story of the match has been Rousey holding her back. She hits a big suplex and a naive Rousey can't believe that Natalya is punishing her (but why? It's a competitive match, after all)

Rousey hits a flurry of strikes on Natalya and then a jumping knee, but it's still 2!
...
Natalya is in control after the break. She has the champion locked in a leg scissors, with her arms locked back. Rousey lands a simple elbow and knocks the challenger off balance.

Natalya suplexes Rousey and has her in a Rear Naked Choke-like position. The match is clearly going in Natalya's pace and Rousey's face is turning red as she somehow fights out. Natalya's been dominant and  right now, there's no friendship.

Natalya has Rousey locked, pulling her leg and hyperextending her knees.


...
Natalya has Rousey pinned to the mat and tries to pin her but Rousey just lightly lifts her shoulders to break it up.

Natalya brawls with Rousey on the ground and it's been quite even so far. Rousey kicks Natalya hard and sends her outside, and looks a bit in concern before realizing that she's in a competitive title match.
...
...
Rousey gets her own share of takedowns and tries to lock the triangle in. Natalya has it sufficiently blocked and she escapes momentarily.

Natalya's slowing the match down but Rousey once again answers her with a judo throw.
...
...
Natalya starts off on the offensive, getting a takedown. Rousey tries to counter but Natalya has her in a headlock. Ronda Rousey gets up and a clean break. Rousey holds Natalya's hands and gets a takedown again. It's stalemate #2.

Natalya once again has Rousey on the mat, and the champion breaks it again.  This is the first time Rousey is working a really technical match-up.  She counters Natalya on the ground as the crowd has duelling chants for both stars.
...
It's RAW Women's Championship time!

...
Heyman begs Strowman, saying he's just an advocate. Strowman puts the red nose and the reindeer antlers on Heyman. Strowman has a message for Heyman to take back to Lesnar. He says that he will be healed up by Royal Rumble and that Lesnar will GET THESE HANDS!
...
Braun Strowman comes out and the moment his music hits, Paul Heyman's facial expression completely changes. 
...
Heyman starts doing his usual Lesnar hype. Honestly, it's basically the same thing as usual.
...
The crowd is incessantly booing him. This is hilariously dumb
...
Paul Heyman is singing a Christmas Carol. And he sucks at it
...

Mickie James is tagged in but Bayley continues her onslaught. Sasha perfectly times her tag in and hits a flying knee to the veteran James. Alicia Fox breaks it up but Ember Moon sends her packing with an eclipse.

Sasha hits the backstabber and Bayley lands the Bayley-to-Belly. What a win!

...
Ember Moon starts things off with the veteran Mickie James. It's the past vs the future.
