5 Interesting Records/Statistics coming out of WWE Evolution

#4 First SmackDown/Raw pay-per-view Women's Championship match without Alexa Bliss

Ronda Rousey defends her Raw Women's Championship against Nikki Bella

Ronda Rousey successfully defended her Raw Women's Championship against Nikki Bella last night at Evolution in what was the first Raw Women's Championship match that didn't include Alexa Bliss since she had been moved over to the brand.

Bliss has been involved in either the SmackDown or Raw Women's Championship matches at every pay-per-view since the brand split back in 2016 but because she was defeated by Ronda Rousey back at Hell in a Cell, she was unable to find a way back into the title picture ahead of the historic all women's pay-per-view.

Bliss was supposed to be part of the tag team match against Lita and Trish Stratus where she would team with Mickie James, but because she suffered a concussion at a recent WWE Live Event she was pulled from the match and replaced by Alicia Fox.
