Five Of Ronda Rousey's Best Matches In WWE

#3 versus Sasha Banks (Royal Rumble 2019, January 27, 2019)

Ronda Rousey contested a thriller with Sasha Banks at the Royal Rumble

Sasha Banks had been meandering as a character for 12 months but was sufficiently reheated in the weeks prior to her title match with Ronda Rousey that one could believe in her as a threat to the "Rowdy One's" Raw Women's Championship.

The bout delivered. The "Boss" was more over than anytime since 2017 and matched Rousey for intensity and appeared to come close to defeating the champion on several occasions, particularly when she had Rousey locked in the Banks Statement.

Banks continued to work over Rousey's arm in a nice piece of psychology before Rousey reversed into a gut wrench powerbomb and hit Piper's Pit and rolled it into a pinning combination for the clean pinfall.

There was a post-match tease of another bout and a possible Four Horsewomen feud. Time will tell if either occur.

As a once and done though, this was an impressively put together match.
