Ronda Rousey has retained the WWE RAW Women’s Title. Rousey did just that when she beat Ruby Riott at the second pay-per-view event of the new year, Elimination Chamber, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Post-match, Rousey had a stare down with Charlotte Flair. Becky Lynch then walked out on crutches through the crowd. Lynch then attacks Flair with one of the crutches as Rousey just watches. This led to Lynch then attacking Rousey as well with the crutch until the referees came out with security to break things up.

Two week’s ago on an episode of Monday Night RAW in Portland, OR at the Moda Center on the USA Network, Rousey took out her frustrations on The Riott Squad by making Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan tap out to the Armbar in back-to-back matchups. As a result, Riott is looking to get her revenge.
It’s possible that WWE books a rematch or perhaps gives her another challenger as it would be a one-off program considering her match at the biggest event of the year for the WWE, WrestleMania 35. Rousey is slated to defend her RAW Women’s Title against Becky Lynch at this show in April.
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.
What are your thoughts on Rousey retaining the title? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.
