Rousey has been counting down the days until her suspension is over and she can get her hands on little Miss Bliss.

Also announced last night on Raw, Ronda Rousey will be front row for the match between Bliss and Jax. Raw General Manager, Kurt Angle, suspended Rousey for 30 days from Raw but evidently, Rousey will be in attendance in Pittsburgh on July 15th. This was revealed recently via a WWE.com interview given by Rousey.
Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss have wrestled each other on television 5 times previously.  Bliss won the first match by DQ, Jax won the next 3, and then Bliss technically defeated Jax at Money in the Bank after cashing in her newly won briefcase.
Bliss is the most successful Raw women’s champion of all-time. She’s held the title for 351 combined days across 3 reigns. That’s over 100 days longer than the next person on the list, Charlotte Flair. Jax’s one reign with the title lasted 70 days, the shortest in the title’s lineage. Only 5 people (Bayley, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, and Alexa Bliss) have ever held the championship.
