RAW Women's Champion Nia Jax vs Ronda Rousey

WWE Money in the Bank 2018: RAW Women's Champion Nia Jax vs Ronda Rousey

Nia Jax's meteoric rise to the RAW Women's Championship actually took some time. After spending two years on NXT she was finally called up to RAW where was basically a forgotten component to the roster. Jax primarily served as Alexa Bliss' lackey until she was double crossed by Bliss shortly before the two met at WrestleMania. That's when Jax had her crowning moment of achievement and finally became RAW Women's Champion. Rousey, on the other hand, hasn't even participated in a singles match; but, now has a RAW Women's Championship opportunity only five months after debuting at the conclusion of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble.

Jax was correct when she spoke last week on RAW. There are many different rules in professional wrestling that simply don't exist in the MMA. She showed that with a vicious headbutt that took the unprepared Rousey entirely by surprise. Still, Rousey was able to get her arm bar on Jax, something that Jax once claimed was impossible. Look for these two to put on a back and forth affair. Jax will display her power and Rousey will display the ability to make vicious quick MMA style strikes. Eventually Rousey will get the arm bar on Jax, who will use her power advantage to simply lift Rousey in the air, while in the typically devastating maneuver. After spending all their energy, Jax will win with a power move and shock the world by cleanly pinning Ronda Rousey, who isn't ready for the RAW Women's Championship just yet.

Winner and STILL RAW Women's Champion: Nia Jax
