5 Potential Finishes For Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella at WWE Evolution

Who will emerge as the Raw Women's Champion?

Ronda Rousey is the Raw Women's Champion after being catapulted to the top since joining the WWE. Since her arrival, she's tangled with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, toppled Nia Jax and taught Alexa Bliss a lesson.

Now she finds herself up against Nikki Bella, who has won countless women's championships, successfully launched two reality television shows and returned to action following a life-threatening neck injury.

It may not have been the main event people were wanting to see for WWE Evolution, but both women have really stepped up on television and via social media to build the match up and it certainly can't be denied that this is the biggest match the WWE could have in the women's division in terms of mainstream appeal.

But, how will it go down? How will Nikki Bella vs Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Title finish when the dust has settled?


#5. Ronda Rousey squashes Nikki Bella

Ronda Rousey is no ordinary woman. We've seen her do things we haven't seen anyone else do. She manhandled Nia Jax with a Judo Throw, she embarrassed Alexa Bliss with a squash match to win the title, she shut Stephanie McMahon up.

Is she about to prove why she's the 'Baddest Woman on the Planet' and do the same thing to Nikki Bella? Could Ronda Rousey set foot inside that ring for Evolution and embarrass 'Fearless Nikki' by completely dominating her and beating her in a matter of minutes?

Sure, it wouldn't be much of a main event match, but it would suitably get the message across that Ronda Rousey is a supernatural talent in the women's division and it will take someone incredible to beat her.

Quite who that would be is anyone's guess given that neither Charlotte nor Asuka feel as special as they once did and there isn't really anyone else.

#4. Brie Bella turns on her sister Nikki Bella

Do I think it would be a good idea to have Ronda Rousey retain the Raw Women's Championship with help from outside interference? No, I don't. But the foundations have been laid out for Brie Bella to cost her sister the match.

Let's cast our minds back to the first ever Women's Royal Rumble when the Bella Twins were dominating the match and working together. Then, to everyone's shock, Nikki Bella took advantage of her sister's trust and lack of concentration to eliminate her from the match. Something that Brie Bella has been remarkably cool with since they both returned to WWE recently.

There's also the question of why it's Nikki Bella and not Brie Bella in the match against Ronda Rousey at Evolution, considering they both turned on Ronda Rousey and both staked a claim against her. Why is Brie Bella so cool just being on the sidelines of the first ever all-female WWE Pay-Per-View whilst her sister takes the spotlight?

What if Brie Bella isn't cool with anything and is waiting for the right moment to let her sister know how it really felt to be eliminated from the Women's Royal Rumble Match by her, and costs her the Raw Women's Title at Evolution?

#3. Stephanie McMahon costs Ronda Rousey the match

Stephanie McMahon has certainly been more than a thorn in Ronda Rousey's side on more than one occasion now and I think it's safe to say that the Raw Commissioner probably isn't done trying to make Rousey's life difficult in the WWE.

Sure the first couple of times she tried to antagonise Ronda Rousey she ended up with a broken arm, but what if McMahon finally has a plan to come out on top over 'The Baddest Women on the Planet'.

Forming a female 'Authority' stable with The Bella Twins and costing Ronda Rousey the Raw Women's Title at Evolution is exactly the kind of bold and despicable move the WWE would pull at their first ever all-female Pay-Per-View. It would certainly be a good progression in the Stone Cold/Vince McMahon style relationship they seem to be going for!

#2. It could become a Triple Threat with Ronda still winning

I mentioned Brie Bella turning on Nikki Bella because it makes no sense, but what if she does get added to the match somehow during the evening. In fact, you could combine the last three finishes I've pitched to make a new one.

During the evening the match can be made a Triple Threat Title match with Stephanie McMahon adding Brie Bella to the match in the last minute to spite Ronda Rousey. Rousey can then still comfortably win the match either via her own merit, or because the Bella Twins capitulate and fail to work together.

This would be the kind of triumphant overcoming the odds and overcoming the unfair authority figure that would end Evolution on a high note.

#1. The Four Horsewomen of the MMA arrive

They're here!
They're here!

That's right, what bigger moment to close out Evolution than the sight of the invading Four Horsewomen of the MMA standing tall in the ring with Rousey still the Raw Women's Champion.

Now, you could have Shayna Baszler (as NXT Women's Champion, or not), Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke interfere to help Rousey win the match, or you can have them appear after the match. You could even do a Nexus-style beatdown of everyone to truly make the moment feel big.

A lot of people might be wondering if it's too soon, but this is the first ever all-female Pay-Per-View we're talking about, something big and memorable needs to happen and they don't come more big and memorable than this!
