5) Raw Women's Title Match Delivers

Not only did the match between Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax deliver but another important thing happened - Jax didn't injure Rousey.

Most of Jax's argument heading into her title match focused on her focusing on her right hand. She stared lovingly at it during a promo on Raw and WWE made constant reference to it ad nauseam as the #facebreaker.

Maybe they realized that they couldn't have someone as reckless as Jax injuring their prized free agent signing. It makes sense.

But outside of that, both women were presented as equals throughout the match. Each had her moments of dominance and Ronda even broke out a few new moves like her step-up Superwoman punch. Rousey has been better than advertised in the ring and is ahead of a lot of the other women on the roster in terms of in-ring skill.

The right call was made for Rousey to win, but she probably has a match with Tamina in her near future after she pointed at Tamina as she made Jax tap out.
