Ronda Rousey has become the first woman to hold titles in both WWE and UFC by winning the Raw Women’s Championship.
Ronda Rousey has made quite the impact in WWE. Yes, the whole point of Vince McMahon signing her in the first place was because of her name value, but her time with the company to date has gone better than anyone could have possibly imagined. It’s hard to believe that the former UFC Champion has only been a WWE Superstar for eight months.
In that time, Rousey has taken to pro wrestling like a duck to water. She stole the show at WrestleMania, and then came extremely close to winning the Raw Women’s Title in her first ever singles match. In fact, it was only a Money In The Bank cash-in by Alexa Bliss that stopped Rousey accomplishing that goal. That’s why their match at SummerSlam was just as much about revenge as it was about gold.
Well, Rousey got both. The Rowdy One dominated her five-foot high opponent, even sitting with her back to Bliss and her eyes shut at one point to give her a chance. Even that didn’t help the now former champ. WWE’s Goddess tried to synch in a choke on Rousey at that point, only for the challenger to continue throwing her around as if she were merely a ragdoll.
