Raw Women's Championship: Nia Jax (c) vs. Ronda Rousey

If only the WWE could highlight the best side of all their superstars, much like they do for Ronda Rousey. The trick is all in the consistent and easy layout of her two PPV bouts so far. The first against the Authority couple functioned as a special attraction celebrity match, featuring a more than competent celebrity in Ronda Rousey.

This second one plays upon the size as well as the muscle of its two competitors, giving the WWE women its first ever hoss fight. When Godzilla and King Kong collide, collateral damage is bound to occur but both monsters are bound to destroy one another as well.

That just happened with Jax pulling out her most inspired work plowing through Rousey, with a lot to prove. At the same time, Hollywood paid dividends for Rousey, whose expressions sold the nature of her inability to gain momentum, as well as her rowdy, never back down attitude.

The icing on the cake; a perfect Alexa Bliss cash in to save face for both women and set up the women's division on RAW for a lot of mayhem.

Alex Bliss knocks out Ronda Rousey to disqualify the match, cash in and pin a beaten Nia Jax to become the NEW Raw Women's Champion!
