Ronda Rousey is always a special attraction on WWE Raw. With a number of superstars missing from the flagship show, WWE used her on two different segments, last night. This just showed that how much the officials depend on her at this very moment. Bad Reputation hit the arena to kick things off on WWE Raw. The crowd gave her a thunderous reaction before Natalya Neidhart joined her inside the ring for a scheduled tag team match.
Original planning with Ronda Rousey at WWE TLC
They were about to take on against Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka in the earlier announced match. But The Riott Squad interfered right before the match began. They brought a table in their hand pretending to attack the babyface superstars. Nia Jax and Tamina took advantage of this distraction and started an ambush on the WWE Raw women’s champion. Rousey started to fight back but numbers game caught up with her.
The heels sent her into the steel steps leaving Natalya high-and-dry in the contest. Riotts attacked her and put through a table as the scheduled match never happened on WWE Raw. The officials ran out preventing Nia Jax, Tamina and the Riotts from the attack. Ronda Rousey helped her buddy to go to the backstage area as she could barely breathe in. Doctors checked her up as Rousey looked fuming with anger.
Ronda Rousey promised to find a tag team partner for herself in the main event match. Later the night, Charly Caruso announced that former NXT Women’s Champion Ember Moon will be the backup partner replacing Natalya on WWE Raw. a similar scene broke out before the match even began.
Nia Jax and Tamina attacked Ronda Rousey from the back again as Ember Moon was making the entrance. Moon quickly entered into the ring hitting the heel with a flurry of moves. The champion came back to her feet to floor her opponents. The match finally began on WWE Raw.
Ember Moon suffered the wrath of Nia Jax for most of the earlier part of the matchup. But an Enziguiri cleared the way for Moon to tag Ronda Rousey into the match. She hit some of her pendant judo moves to Jax before Tamina tried to interfere. Moon hit her with an Eclipse allowing the champ to lock in the armbar to get the submission win. The two babyfaces celebrated before WWE Raw came to an end.
