Ronda Rousey made her WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34 when she teamed with Kurt Angle to defeat Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in one of the most high-profile matches of the night.

“The Baddest Woman on the Planet” went on to feud with Nia Jax before winning the WWE RAW Women’s Championship from Alexa Bliss at WWE SummerSlam 2018.

Unfortunately, following their SummerSlam match, Rousey caused Bliss to suffer a concussion during their rematch at Hell in a Cell in September 2018 after a botched headlock takeover. Then, one month later, exactly the same thing happened at a live event and Bliss was unable to compete again for three months.

During this time, Jax complained to WWE management about Rousey’s recklessness in the ring and asked to replace her real-life best friend in the storyline.

“I had to go to the people, to the higher-ups, and tell them, 'Listen, Lexi is five foot nothing, a hundred pounds, getting thrown around like a little ragdoll and injured every night.' I was like, 'Put me in, I'm a six foot, three hundred pound b**** and I can handle it.'” [via Paige’s Twitch stream]

Jax went on to unsuccessfully challenge Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship at the WWE TLC pay-per-view in December 2018.
