Jax won the battle royal at the WWE Evolution pay-per-view event in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the WWE Network. As a result of this win, she had earned the right to challenge for the Women’s Title.
Rousey defeated Alexa Bliss for the title at the SummerSlam pay-per-view event in Brooklyn, New York on August 19, 2018, which marked her first reign as champion. There have been 14 reigns between 6 champions to hold the title with Charlotte Flair being the inaugural champion.
Rousey’s in-ring debut took place at WrestleMania 34 in a mixed tag team match with Kurt Angle as her partner, against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Since then, she has been pushed as WWE top star in the RAW Women’s Division and one of the biggest talents that the company has under contract.
