This was a real dampener after last week's segment
Not a lot of people were excited about the prospect of Ronda Rousey facing off against Nikki Bella at Evolution for the RAW Women's Championship. The women changed that by cutting fiery promos in a red-hot segment last week. I thought this week did not feel nearly as heated. Nikki Bella got some good lines in, but Rousey did not really retaliate.

I loved the lines from Bella about Nikki Bella's mother and how disappointed she would be with her daughter now. What I did not get is why Rousey did not retaliate when Nikki Bella slapped her. I know she's supposed to be a babyface, but any human being would react after such an insult.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
It just made the segment feel fake and rather staged, I felt. Of course, I'm still excited about the match.
