Fans won’t be able to see Ronda Rousey on WWE television for the next month.
The reason for this is due to the opening segment on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Grand Rapids, MI at the Van Andel Arena on the USA Network.
As seen in the angle that aired on the flagship show of the sports entertainment company, RAW General Manager Kurt Angle announced that Alexa Bliss would make her first title defense as RAW Women’s Champion against Nia Jax at the upcoming Extreme Rules pay-per-view event on Sunday, July 15, 2018 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the PPG Paints Arena.
This is when the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion hit the ring and attacked not only Bliss but Angle as well.
As noted, Rousey beat Jax by DQ in a WWE RAW Women’s Championship match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view event once Bliss attacked Rousey. After the match, Bliss cashed in her MITB contract to win the title from Jax.
Following the segment, Angle announced that Rousey would be suspended for 30 days as a result of her actions. Rousey will be back on television next month to start the build for her match at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event.
