How could Rousey and Bella even compete with such a physical contest?
The Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair may have been the most physical women's match this year. There were tables, there were chairs and there were tables too. Oh, yes, there were ladders as well. There was no way that a regular match would have been able to follow the madness and excitement of this spectacular contest.

And when Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella squared off, my suspicions were confirmed. The two women did not put on an embarrassing match by any means. Contrary to what her detractors have to say, Bella put on quite a clinic at WWE Evolution.
But no, the match did not have the elements that would require it to become the talking point of the show. Even a heel turn or surprise interference would have added an element of drama to the match.
