For the WWE RAW Women's Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey

Ad

They already pulled off the Celebrity Sports Entertainer (Wrestlemania 34) and the Hoss Battle (Money in the Bank 2018). Along with the standard RAW Debut squash versus Alicia Fox. So it was interesting to see what genre WWE might pick into for their next Ronda Rousey bout.

Going into a championship bout with the diminutive Alexa Bliss it seemed hard to imagine it not being a squash. Yet Bliss has always been a well-protected competitor, despite her flaws. So while yes, the match was an extended squash it was the kind known as when the chicken s**t heel gets their just desserts.

Everything about Alexa's reign from victory to defense has been unbecoming of a champion. As such the Rowdy challenger leaned into this, calling out an escaping Alexa mid-match and even letting Alexa try to take her down. Equal parts fury and equal parts zen, Ronda gained another stellar victory. Now her real challenge comes, being a consistent champion!

Ronda Rousey obliterates Alexa Bliss and pins her to win, becoming the NEW RAW Women's Champion!
