WWE Money In The Bank 2018: Analysing and grading each match

#9 Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey (Raw Women’s Championship); Alexa Bliss def. Nia Jax (Raw Women’s Championship)

Alexa Bliss cashed in her Money In The Bank contract

Match 1: Nia Jax largely dominated her match against Ronda Rousey, hitting the former UFC star with a massive powerbomb and Samoan drop before swinging her against the barricade like a baseball bat. When Ronda came back into the match, she connected with a top-rope crossbody and showed off an impressive judo throw and knee to the face.

Match 2: Out of nowhere, Alexa Bliss attacked both women with her Money In The Bank briefcase, causing a disqualification, and continued to attack Ronda outside the ring. She then cashed in her contract and hit Nia with a DDT and Twisted Bliss to become a three-time Raw Women’s champion.

Verdict: The initial reaction when Alexa interfered was one of disappointment because Nia and Ronda were putting on a great match and everybody wanted a clear winner. However, it’s not very often you see a MITB cash-in, and this one was a genuine surprise that nobody would have expected before the show. In an age of daily rumours and spoilers, WWE deserves credit for not letting news of this get out before the event.
