Ronda Rousey wants fans’ help naming her non-submission finisher. Rousey typically likes to finish her matches with her signature armbar. On the other hand, the former UFC champ also has a non-submission finisher she pulls out form time-to-time. Rousey puts her opponents on her shoulders and does a spinning suplex of sorts.
That finisher has yet to be named. “The Rowdy One” spoke to Yahoo Sports to promote tonight’s SummerSlam pay-per-view (PPV) event. During their conversation, Rousey contemplated a name for the finisher.
Rousey said she liked the sound of “Plex and Violence.” It’s a play off of the song the UFC didn’t allow her to walk out to before her fights, “Sex and Violence.” She’s not sure WWE would allow the name, so she asked fans for their input:
“Oh, that throw I keep doing? We keep throwing around names for it. Originally, my walkout song for MMA I wanted to be ‘Sex and Violence’ and they wouldn’t let me. So I thought a cool name would be ‘Plex and Violence,’ like suplex and violence.
“Yeah, so Plex and Violence I like. Maybe, I don’t know, it’s PG, I don’t know if they’ll let me keep it. What do you guys think? … Or do you have any suggestions? I’m open to suggestions. Name that thing that I do.”
Ronda Rousey faces RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss tonight at SummerSlam. Ronda Rousey is also rumored to be involved in the WWE Evolution main event.
A big match has been advertised for the upcoming WWE Evolution pay-per-view event. That match is Alexa Bliss vs. Trish Stratus.
A graphic was shown on the big screen at the Barclays Center prior to Saturday’s (August 18, 2018) NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 event in Brooklyn, New York. The match has since been confirmed by WWE.
WWE has already confirmed that a RAW Women’s Title match, SmackDown Women’s Title match, NXT Women’s Title match, WWE UK Women’s Title match and the finals of the this year’s Mae Young Classic tournament would take place at this upcoming event, which will feature all women contests. The company also announced that both stars from the past and present will be working this show.
The last match that WWE Hall of Famer wrestled under the WWE banner was back in January at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event where she competed as a participant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
The Evolution pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, October 28, 2018 in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and will air on the WWE Network.
What are your thoughts on this match? Sound off in the comment section.
The WWE’s Women’s Revolution has really made strides over the past several years.
In the recent years; WWE’s women have participated in their first-ever Hell In A Cell, Money In The Bank (MITB), Elimination Chamber and other gimmick matches. One woman that has played an integral part in the Women’s Revolution is Alexa Bliss.
Bliss has only been on the WWE’s main roster for two years. In her time on the main roster, she has won three RAW Women’s Titles. Bliss is also a two-time SmackDown Live Women’s Champion. She was also the first woman in WWE history to have held the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Titles.
Now, Bliss prepares for a massive RAW Women’s Title defense this weekend. She’ll defend her crown against former UFC women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam on Sunday. The action goes down live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
WWE Evolution
“Little Miss Bliss” recently spoke with Sports Illustrated to promote this weekend’s show. During the conversation, Bliss discussed the WWE’s upcoming Evolution PPV. The show goes down in October and will be WWE’s first-ever all-female PPV event.
Bliss says that WWE’s Women’s Evolution “deserves” the Evolution PPV:
“This is something our ‘Women’s Revolution’ deserves,” said Bliss. “The women on our roster and our legends have proven that it’s about time that women have the main focus. I was holding a title at the Royal Rumble, so I wasn’t able to compete in the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble.
“I’m very excited to get in the ring at Evolution, whether it’s against someone from NXT or someone coming back from the past. It’s the perfect addition to our evolution. It’s hard to step back while you’re doing it, but I was actually able to do that during the women’s Royal Rumble.
“I couldn’t step back at WrestleMania until after the match, but I was able to watch that women’s Royal Rumble from a fan’s perspective. It was really cool to think, ‘Wow, we’re in this amazing movement in WWE.’”
Alexa Bliss has reflected on when she believes was the turning point for her character as she prepares for the biggest match thus far in her career with the WWE.
The WWE RAW Women’s Champion recently spoke with Bleacher Report to promote the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event. Bliss noted that she exactly knows when that moment was.
Turning Point
She joked that it was the segment with Bayley that was titled “This Is Your Life” and noted that she gets a lot of flak for that segment. Switching to serious gears, she pinpointed that it was when she had that feeling.
“When I had the Raw Women’s Championship, I made the crowd chant, “You deserve it!” I was told that was one of my better “interacting with the crowd” promos. And I was told that by Paul Heyman, who told me that I lured the [audience] in and took them on a ride.”
SummerSlam
Bliss is slated to defend her title against Ronda Rousey at this upcoming pay-per-view event and was asked how she thinks Rousey is making the transition from MMA to WWE. She stated that Rousey is coming to WWE at such a great time because they’re a big family here, and try to help everyone succeed.
“She has passion for it, which is awesome, and she respects the business, which is awesome. Everyone has been helping her and walking her through everything. Because it’s a very big challenge to come into this, go straight on the road and have your every move televised. I mean, her first match was at WrestleMania. Her second match was on Money in the Bank.”
She added that they’re all high-profile matches and that Rousey wants to learn. Thus, she thinks that at the end of the day, it takes two people to make a good match and that it will be great to see how Rousey is a year from now.

This Sunday when WWE presents Summerslam, there’s a chance Alexa Bliss vs Ronda Rousey will close the show. Rousey is arguably the company’s biggest star at the moment and an all-female Summerslam main event would be another “first” the company would be able to showcase.
Current Raw Women’s Champion, Alexa Bliss, recently spoke to the Mirror UK about the possibility of closing the show on Sunday.
“You have the five-time WWE Champion going up against a UFC Hall of Famer. Why not let it be the main event?” Bliss asked. “I do I believe that with the women’s evolution going the way it is, then why not? But if not, then it is still great that I get to have a match with Ronda, who is making her SummerSlam debut.”
Alexa Bliss vs Ronda Rousey – Summerslam 2018
Bliss has been complimentary of Rousey since her debut earlier this year.
“I watched her UFC career and I do think she is what she is called, ‘The Baddest Woman on the Planet’,” Bliss continued. “She is at the forefront of women’s sports in general, she is tough and awesome and I am looking forward to our match at SummerSlam.”
Main eventing Summerslam isn’t enough for Bliss, however. The Raw Women’s Champion said her ultimate goal is to headline the biggest event of the year.
“But for me, the ultimate goal is to main event WrestleMania. That is the big one and is on all of the women’s bucket lists. It really is and would be the epitome of what this evolution is. I am also just happy to help continuing to elevate the women’s evolution.”
Alexa Bliss has two names in mind as potential opponents at the upcoming WWE Evolution PPV event.
The WWE Raw Women’s Champion recently spoke with Hollywood Life to talk about various topics including if there is a match type or opponent that she wants to face at this event. Bliss stated that she would love to be in the ring with Trish Stratus or Lita or anyone from the past because she wasn’t able to have that opportunity at the Women’s Royal Rumble because she was the champion at the time.
“If I could be in the ring with someone from the Royal Rumble that would be awesome to have that opportunity!”
Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has her next big match under the WWE banner set as she is slated to challenge Bliss for the title at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event. When asked about her gameplan, she noted that she had many different opponents in the past two years such as Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Bayley as they have their own unique style.
“My plan with Ronda is that I know her style, and I have watched her style. I kind of see the flaws in it. What I use to expose it will be the reason I capitalize on any opportunity I can.”

Its only been two years since Alexa Bliss has been on WWE’s main roster. In those two years, however, Bliss has accomplished so much.
She is a three-time RAW Women’s Champion and a two-time SmackDown Live Women’s Champion. Bliss is also the first woman to have held both titles in history. Now, Bliss is preparing to defend her RAW Women’s Title in the biggest match of her career.
Bliss cashed in her MITB briefcase just as Rousey was on the verge of defeating Nia Jax for the title. She used the briefcase to attack both Rousey and Jax before cashing-in and leaving Chicago with the strap.
Now, Rousey will attempt to extract her revenge at SummerSlam – taking the RAW Women’s Title in the process. Bliss recently spoke to Hollywood Life to discuss her professional wrestling career.
Her accolades with just two years on the WWE’s main roster were mentioned. In regards to what she has left to accomplish in WWE, Bliss had this to say:
“You know, I feel like I have had a very fortunate time with WWE over the last two years. I went to my first WrestleMania as SmackDown Women’s Champion and then I went to my second WrestleMania as the Raw Women’s Champion.
“I have been very fortunate with the opportunities that I have been given and for me, I think I just want to elevate this Women’s Evolution and division.
“The women are stepping the game up, time and time again. That is what I really want to focus on because I pretty much done all what there is to do and I am grateful for that. So I am looking forward to the next generation coming in and see how we can elevate the Women’s Revolution together!”
It was a good tune-up match before Rousey challenges Bliss for the RAW Women’s Title at SummerSlam later this month. The pay-per-view (PPV) goes down from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on August 19th.
Shortly after her victory over Fox, Rousey took to Instagram and issued a stern warning to her SummerSlam opponent, Bliss. Here’s what she had to say:
“You should dread every second of experience I get in that ring.
Consider what you saw last night merciful compared to what’s coming to you August 19th”
Xavier Woods Invites Tyler Breeze To Join The New Day
Last night was pretty embarrassing for Tyler Breeze. One-half of Breezango, Fandango, has been sidelined for the next several months with an injury. This leaves Breeze to fend for himself on RAW as a singles talent.
During last night’s episode of RAW, Breeze had a segment with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns backstage. Breeze was denied a fist bump by the former Shield members:
SmackDown Live star and New Day member Xavier Woods offered a response on Twitter. He noted that Breeze could come over to SmackDown Live and join The New Day until Fandango is ready to return:
It's ok Breezy, come on over to #SmackdownLive and you can be in The New Day till Dango heals up ? we will appreciate you over on blue! https://t.co/LMzfJwP0IE
– Dasha Fuentes will likely be off SmackDown LIVE for a while after suffering an Achilles tendon injury. She posted a photo of herself in the hospital today after undergoing surgery to repair the issue.

While not everyone seems to be happy about it, Hulk Hogan is back into the WWE fold with his reinstation to the WWE Hall Of Fame and it looks to be only a matter of time before he starts making appearances for the company again.
During her recent appearance on Zaslow, Romberg & Amber podcast, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss revealed her thoughts on Hogan’s return to the company among other things.
While talking about the Hulkamania brand, Alexa claimed that the former World Champion has become an icon. Bliss then voiced support on his reinstation and said that it’s great that Hulk is back into the WWE fold.
She explained the WWE locker room to be a ‘dysfunctional family’ and went on to claim that it’s upsetting when someone leaves, but time heals everything and people feel happy when they return.
Hulk Hogan was reinstated into the WWE Hall Of Fame on the same day as the Extreme Rules PPV on July 15. While he did address the locker room before the PPV, Hogan is yet to make his on-screen return for the company.
On the other hand, Alexa Bliss is scheduled to defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey at the SummerSlam PPV from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on August 19th.
Alexa Bliss has given some insight into her brief run with Braun Strowman as tag team partners.
The WWE RAW Women’s Champion recently spoke with The Miami Herald to promote this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Miami, FL at the AmericanAirlines Arena on the USA Network. In this interview, she explained the cancellation of certain additional segments that were pitched for her and Strowman while they were teaming up for the Mixed Match Challenge.
She noted that it was so much fun to do as they could show their own personalities and there wasn’t a lot of people telling them what to do. She did note that there was some stuff that they wanted to film and she even gave an example, which was the fact that they had a comedy segment where Bliss was attempting to climb into Strowman’s big truck. However, at the end of the day, they didn’t have time to film it as they were eliminated before the segment was filmed. Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has her next big match under the WWE banner set as she is slated to challenge Bliss for the title at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event. Bliss also commented on working with the UFC star and how Cris Cyborg tweeted her about training.
“It’s been great. [Rousey] is amazing to work with,” Bliss said. “She has made a name for herself in UFC, a Hall of Famer, which is awesome, and for me, that gives me a lot of ammo to use in my promos, which is fun. I’m really excited for the match at SummerSlam, and I’m really excited to see how she does, because she does really well in the ring, and it will be fun.” She continued by stating, “I actually got a lot of tweets from [UFC fighter] Cyborg. She’s actually been offering to help me against Ronda.”

Earlier this month WWE reinstated Hulk Hogan back into their Hall Of Fame.
Hopgan had his contract with WWE terminated after a leaked sex tape revealed some racist comments from the former WWE Champion. WWE essentially black-listed Hogan from the company up until earlier this month.
WWE made the decision to reinstate Hogan into the HOF before the Extreme Rules pay-per-view (PPV). He was also backstage at the PPV and delivered an apology to the entire roster.
Yesterday RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss joined AM 790 The Ticketto promote Monday Night RAW in Miami. She offered her thoughts on Hogan being reinstated into the Hall Of Fame:
“I think it’s great. You know he has built such an empire for himself in WWE and is such an icon in WWE. And, you know, I feel like it’s great that he’s back in WWE family – because that’s what we are, we’re a family.
“Everyone loves everyone, we’re just this big dysfunctional family, so when someone leaves it’s obviously upsetting. But you know, time heals all and people are very happy when people come back and I think with such an icon I think it’s a good thing.”
Last week it was announced that the promotion would hold its first ever all-female pay-per-view (PPV) entitled Evolution. All of the women of RAW and SmackDown Live will compete, as well as some NXT competitors and Superstars of the past.
WWE Hall Of Famers Lita and Trish Stratus will compete at the event as well. Match-ups WWE fans didn’t think would ever happen will possibly become a reality.
Earlier today RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss was interviewed by WSVN-TV entertainment reporter Chris Van Vliet. The interview took place before tonight’s RAW from the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida.
Bliss was asked who her dream opponent for the Evolution PPV would be. She named Lita and Trish Stratus:
“Trish and Lita because I was never able to work with them at the Royal Rumble because the curse of a champion, champions aren’t allowed in the Royal Rumble match. So I got to sit ringside which was really cool because it was the nostalgia of the entrances and everyone coming back.
“It was awesome getting to see it from a fan’s perspective but I would really like to get into the ring with the girls who were in the Royal Rumble match so hopefully that will be my opportunity at the Pay Per View.”
“Little Miss Bliss” talked about a lot more; including when she found out about Evolution, if she’ll ever turn babyface, crying during her first promo and more. Watch the full interview here:
Ronda Rousey and the Rock appeared together at WrestleMania 31, 3 years before Ronda would have her first WWE match at WrestleMania 34. The Rock and Rousey were promoting the upcoming Expendables movie at the time.
Rousey will also appear in the upcoming movie, Mile 22. While promoting the movie, Rousey was asked if the Rock gave her any advice about her movie career.
“No, not really. Just have fun, really,” she said. “The object is to have fun.”
She would also comment on Alexa Bliss, fan response to her matches thus far, and her WrestleMania experience.
Chris Van Vliet commented on how when Ronda was leaving the interview room, he let her know he would be interviewing Alexa Bliss shortly. Rousey was then quoted as saying “Tell Alexa I’m going to kick that stupid pink hair right off of her head.”
Ronda Rousey On Fan Response To Her WrestleMania Match
She was also asked about fans who were surprised her match at WrestleMania went as well as it did.
“Going into any new career like wrestling or acting or anything like that, a lot of people assume you can only be really good at one thing,” Rousey said. “And that if you master one thing you will never be able to master anything else as well.”
Rousey would continue to say there were low expectations from fans about how well she would do at WrestleMania. She also stressed it is hard to learn something new while the world is watching.
“There was a lot of low expectations going into things,” she continued. “It’s harder to learn while with the world watching.”
Rousey’s first match was at WrestleMania but she’s now up to 9 total matches now, 7 of which were on house shows. Not surprisingly, she is a perfect 9-0 thus far. Her two matches on WWE pay-per-views came at WrestleMania when she teamed with Kurt Angle to defeat Triple H and Stephanie and then at Money in the Bank when she defeated Nia Jax via disqualification after being attacked by Alexa Bliss.
“It helps me improve even quicker that my first match was at WrestleMania,” Rousey continued.
Alexa Bliss will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam. Bliss was a guest on the Cheap Seats podcast and gave her opinion on Rousey’s WWE run so far.
“I am absolutely impressed, Bliss said. “She does really well at her facial expressions, which I appreciate because I am really big on facial expressions. It is really easy to appreciate the fact that you know she has been hit before, and you know that pain, you have that emotional connection to her one way or another when you watch her perform. I was very impressed with her match against Nia Jax, and also her match at WrestleMania with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, it was just awesome. I am very proud of her and it’ll be fun to see where things go with that.”
Alexa Bliss On Babyface Move-sets and Heel Move-Sets
Bliss has her detractors who say her in-ring work is not as good as other athletes on the roster. She believes, however, this is only because she is a heel and utilizes a less crowd-friendly move-set as a result.
“I don’t, but here’s the thing, I’m a bad guy,” Bliss stated. “Who likes a bad guy that does a lot of flashy things? You know what I mean? It is my job to be hated, so if that means coming in when the opportunity is right and cashing in on other people’s misfortunes in the ring that is what I am going to do.
“Now, when I become a good guy are people going to see a brand new skill set from me? Absolutely. Right now, my job isn’t to wow the crowd with my in-ring ability,” she continued. “My job is to be hated, which is what I love to do. My job is to be hated because people get that much madder when I win a title because they talk about me not being able to wrestle in the ring—I can, but I am choosing not to, and the fact that when I win and they are getting angry that only means that I am doing my job that much more.”

Alexa Bliss’ Reaction
Nia Jax will challenge Alexa Bliss for the RAW Women’s Title at the upcoming Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in an Extreme Rules Match. Bliss has since taken to her official Twitter account to react to the stipulation being added to the match:
I have turned every single opportunity into a championship. EVERY SINGLE ONE! I hope everyone enjoys this long, wonderful #MomentOfBliss…because it’ll only continue after #ExtremeRules.
— Lexi (Kaufman) Cabrera (@AlexaBliss_WWE) July 3, 2018

The WWE Raw Women’s Championship match set to take place at Extreme Rules was spiced up with the Extreme Rules stipulation yesterday, and the challenger Nia Jax has some thoughts about it that she shared on her Twitter:
It isn’t about just about winning the #Raw Women’s Championship back. It’s about putting an end to this. An #ExtremeRules Match means I can use ANY means to make you pay for what you’ve done. This ends the #MomentOfBliss.
Cody Rhodes revealed on Twitter that Deonna Purrazzo will not be making an appearance at the All In event after he was asked who she was going to face. Deonna Purrazzo is currently signed to WWE’s developmental territory NXT.

Deonna is unable to do All In. We love her. She’s phenomenal. She’s kicking ass/breaking arms no matter where you see her.
At Extreme Rules on July 15th, 2018, Alexa Bliss will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Nia Jax. Last night on Raw, it was announced that the match between Bliss and Jax will be an Extreme Rules match.
Renee Young caught up with Bliss backstage to get her comments on the news.
“I’m fine, I’m happy it’s an extreme rules match,” Bliss said. “You being nervous, because I can tell your nervous and it’s really throwing me off.”
Not long after the show ended, Bliss Tweeted out the following:
I have turned every single opportunity into a championship. EVERY SINGLE ONE! I hope everyone enjoys this long, wonderful #MomentOfBliss…because it’ll only continue after #ExtremeRules.

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.
What do you think of the Alexa Bliss/Nia Jax/Ronda Rousey angle? Let us know in the comments section below.
Last year in August current RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss teamed up with Nia Jax at a Live Event. Little did they know that one of the most viral videos of the year in professional wrestling would be recorded after their match.
When the match was over Jax slung Bliss over her shoulder and carried her backstage. As she was being carried backstage a young WWE fan managed to slap Bliss on the butt. Jax’s reaction was priceless but we couldn’t really see how Bliss reacted to the slap.
In a recent interview with GiveMeSport, Bliss detailed her reaction after what had happened. Bliss asked Jax if it was her who had done it, and Jax told Bliss it was a kid from the crowd. They pair laughed things off backstage and didn’t seem to make a big deal of it:
“Well when had happened- I asked Nia because she was carrying me over her shoulders. I was like ‘Was that you?’ and she was like ‘No!’ And like we just walked back and laughed it off.
“But it was still one of those… I was very shocked it happened. I was like “Oh my gosh, was that you?” and she was like “No!” It was just a little kid, kids do what they want.”
In WWE storyline, Ronda Rousey is suspended until after the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on July 15th, 2018. Rousey beat up several WWE referees on Raw this Monday causing Kurt Angle to suspend her for 30-days.
It seems Rousey is counting down the days until she can get her hands on Little Miss Bliss. She posted the following to her social media channels recently:
Raw Women’s Champion, Alexa Bliss, has not responded to Rousey. Bliss, who will face Nia Jax at Extreme Rules, posted the following graphic recently which states her MITB cash-in was the 3rd fastest in history.
Similar to Kenny Omega, Ronda Rousey wants to change the world through pro-wrestling. WWE.com correspondents spoke with Rousey about her goals in wrestling and what she wants to accomplish before having children.
“I feel like I have so much potential, that even though I’ve accomplished a lot I feel like I’m always capable of more. I have more to contribute to this world than I already have. The WWE seems like the most direct way to affect lasting social change that I want to happen before I bring children into this world. This is the right time, this is the right place, and I have an idea whose time has come. I don’t want my kids to put up with some of the bullshit I had to, so I’m going to change it. And this is how.”
Rousey won over even her harshest critics with her performances at both WrestleMania 34 and the Money in the Bank PPV. On Sunday, it was reported that both Rousey and Nia Jax received standing ovations backstage after the match.
There is one UFC star who has offered to help train Alexa Bliss for her pending showdown with Ronda Rousey.
That star is UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg, who wanted to fight the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion when Rousey was still competing as a pro-MMA fighter.
As noted, Rousey beat Nia 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.
Moving along 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. Rousey attacked Bliss and was later “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.
WWE has yet to officially announce when Rousey would wrestle Bliss but the expectation is that this match will happen sooner rather than later. Cyborg tweeted out the following:
“Let me know # @AlexaBliss_WWE if you need help training Judo takedown and armbar defense!”
Let me know # @AlexaBliss_WWE if you need help training Judo takedown and armbar defense!
The first singles match for Ronda Rousey in the WWE is in the books.
However, she was not able to capture her first title in the professional wrestling business. The UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion beat Nia Jax by DQ in a WWE RAW Women’s Championship match at Sunday’s (June 17, 2018) WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view event in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena on the WWE Network.
The finish of the match saw Alexa Bliss attack Rousey to cause the DQ. After the match, Bliss continued the beat down on Rousey and then attacked Jax.
This led to Bliss cashing in her MITB contract to beat Jax to win the RAW Women’s Title. On Monday morning, Rousey took to her official Instagram account to put Bliss on notice leading into tonight’s (June 18, 2018) episode of Monday Night RAW.
“Apparently cheaters DO prosper in the @wwe – not surprising tbh, given their leadership @stephaniemcmahon @tripleh ? I don’t know what I was doing expecting a certain degree of honor and fair sport. That was MY mistake. I won’t make it again. @alexa_bliss_wwe_ …. you screwed over the wrong woman. See you tonight on #Raw.”
It was reported before that Ring Of Honor was looking to run a show at Madison Square Garden sometime next year but the exact date of this event was not known.
Now Wrestling Observer Newsletter reveals that the company is planning to hold this show on April 6th next year, during the WrestleMania weekend.
What’s interesting to note here is that WWE will be holding an NXT Takeover on the same night, meaning that ROH’s event will be clashing directly with a WWE Show.
This is bound to make the already unhappy WWE Officials even angrier and now it’d be interesting to see what steps they take to block this show.
Alexa Bliss On Her MITB Victory
While the decision from WWE is receiving mixed reactions online, it’s safe to say that The Money In The Bank PPV was a successful night for the Goddess Alexa Bliss.
Bliss not only defeated the other 7 Women to win the Money In The Bank briefcase, but she went on to successfully cash it in later in the night to win the Raw Women’s Championship back from Nia Jax.
She was interviewed backstage after her title victory and during the interaction, Alexa revealed if she had planned this all along. You can check out her interview in the video below:
As we’ve noted, it seemed that Alexa Bliss suffered an injury during her Backlash pay-per-view (PPV) match against Nia Jax for the RAW Women’s Title.
It seems like the injury was either minor or a storyline because Little Miss Bliss is booked for WWE’s European Tour and competed at WWE’s live event in Bournemouth, GB last night.
