Money in the Bank 2018: Key numbers heading into the event

#2 Third

Ronda Rousey could win the Raw Women's Championship this weekend

Ronda Rousey steps into her first singles wrestling match this weekend as she faces Nia Jax for the Raw Women's Championship. The former UFC Champion could become just the third person in history to win a Championship in UFC and WWE if she is victorious.

Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock are the only stars who have been able to achieve this feat, but Rousey would become the first female on this list. Rousey had the upper hand on Monday night, which has led many fans to believe that this could be a walk in the park for her in Chicago on Sunday night.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

If Rousey is victorious, she will become the first female in more than four years to win a Women's Championship in her singles match debut, after Paige won the Divas Championship in her main roster debut back in 2014. The odds are definitely against the former UFC star though, since the title has been defended at Money in the Bank just six times in history and each time the Champion has been victorious.
