The RAW Women’s Title was on the line last night during WWE’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view when champion Nia Jax defended her title against former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
It was Rousey’s first singles match on WWE TV. To many’s surprise, both Rousey and Jax performed quite impressively. The action was fairly entertaining and well executed, with the exception of Rousey accidentally falling outside of the ring through the ropes.
Of course, their success was short-lived as Women’s MITB briefcase holder Alexa Bliss cashed in after attacking both Rousey and Jax. She won the RAW Women’s Title after hitting Twister Bliss on Jax.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful on Twitter, both Rousey and Jax received standing ovations when coming back through the curtain after their match:
Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax both got a lot of praise coming through the curtain for tonight's match, I'm told.

Both Jax and Rousey certainly put on the best performances of their respective careers. Jax did an exceptional job of guiding Rousey through her first singles match, and The Rowdy One certainly impressed for it being her first one-on-one opportunity inside the squared circle.
