WWE RAW Preview: 24th December 2018

Ronda Rousey takes on Natalya in the final title defence of the year

Best friends collide

Last week, Natalya earned a RAW Women's title shot against her friend Ronda Rousey after withstanding an 8-woman gauntlet match and walking out triumphantly. Now, it's best friend vs best friend in the title match.

The friendship is going to be put aside as the two competitors go all-out to walk out RAW Women's Champion. Rousey has been on an absolute tear, with no signs of stopping. Natalya is the clear underdog here and if you're a betting person, she's not the one you'd be picking.

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

Either way, this has the potential to be an incredible match and in our opinion, is a worthy main event to close out RAW in 2018. For Rousey, she has one big hurdle before the Royal Rumble, but with the implications on SmackDown Live between Charlotte and Becky Lynch, she's going to have a target on her back sooner than she thinks.
