Ronda Rousey again performed admirably, carrying Nia Jax to a good match as she had done previously at Money in the Bank back in June. The contrast between Jax's power, however sloppily she executed it, and Ronda Rousey's athleticism was fun to see.

Tamina got involved in the match as was expected, and for a split second, it almost seemed like Ronda Rousey would lose the Raw Women's Championship, but logic ultimately prevailed, with Rousey giving Jax her signature armbar for a quick tapout.

Afterwards, Becky Lynch punched Nia Jax in the face backstage to get some payback from before Survivor Series. She didn't show herself later on in the night, during Lynch's pivotal match.

The result of all of this is that Nia Jax is moving down the card, as she should. Her loss is the Raw women's division's gain, however, and things should be picking up fast.
