#3 Ronda Rousey Vs. Nia Jax - RAW Women's Title (Money in the Bank 2018)

A true challenge.
A true challenge.

Ronda had done more than enough at Wrestlemania to prove herself worthy of the WWE main event scene, but the time soon came for her to step into singles competition. Her first proper challenge? - None other than Nia Jax.

This was a true test of Ronda's abilities. Not only was she unproven as a single's competitor in Sports Entertainment, but she would also be across the ring from somebody with her own point to prove. Despite her impressive look, Nia hasn't exactly set the world alight with her wrestling abilities since being promoted from NXT.

On top of all this was the fact that fans had every excuse to dismiss this match out of hand. As big a star as Rousey is, surely it was unfair to leapfrog her above other, more deserving women in line for a title shot.

In spite of all this, Ronda and Nia actually put on one hell of a performance and managed to get the best out of each other. Ronda looked every bit the natural going up against somebody of Nia's stature, and Jax, for her own part, benefitted from allowing Ronda to do most of the work between the big spots.

The WWE even managed to write themselves out of a tricky situation, having Alexa Bliss interfere at the end to avoid any accusations of special treatment for the Rowdy one.
