#5 Alexa Bliss vs Ronda Rousey (RAW Women's Championship)

This was a surprisingly competitive match.
This was a surprisingly competitive match.

Result: Ronda Rousey wins by submission

A much better match than anybody expected, Ronda Rousey vs Alexa Bliss was also far more competitive. After the mauling Bliss received at SummerSlam, she was given a bulk of the offence in this championship match.

The Goddess was focusing on the injured ribs of Rousey, a smart way to keep the match realistic and competitive at the same time. There were a few shenanigans on the outside involving Alicia Fox, Mickie James and Natalya. It was entertaining enough for our liking.

One of the best parts of Ronda Rousey's matches is the fact that she is always willing to sell brilliantly for her opponents. Her selling against Bliss was top notch, she gets it. Rousey is continuing her ascent to become one of the greatest female wrestlers in WWE history. She has taken to wrestling, like a duck to water.

The match went on for 12 minutes, more than double of the likely scenario. It certainly was enjoyable, but it is time to move on. Ronda Rousey is set to face Nikki Bella at Evolution and the build to that could begin in the coming weeks. But for now, it has been a job well done for the Baddest Woman on the Planet.

Grade: B
