Best and Worst of RAW- 6th August, 2018

#1 Worst: Stiff in the ring?

Rousey could have legitimately hurt Fox during the match

Thank you to my colleague, independent wrestler Britanni Matthews (who writes as Phillipa Marie for Sportskeeda Wrestling), for all her help. I'm sure that some of you noticed that Ronda Rousey was a little stiff during her match with Alicia Fox.

Maybe it was nerves from being in the main event in front of a sold out audience. Maybe it was the fact that she did not have a real NXT run.

Whatever the case may be, the way Rousey worked Fox's arm could have legitimately injured her. I love how 'all guns blazing' she is, but she needs to be more careful in the ring, going forward.

That said, congratulations to Rousey on her RAW debut!
