Last week on WWE Raw, we have learned about a dream title bout at Royal Rumble. Sasha Banks squared off Nia Jax in a singles contest renewing the rivalry against the behemoth. She won that match to capture the contender’s spot for the title. Later, the match became official between Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks that we thought of never seeing.

Now, another interesting announcement was waiting for us ahead of this week’s WWE Raw. The champion and the contender had to team up with each other against the common enemy. It was Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks up against Nia Jax and Tamina. The lineup looked solid since it’s a dream team from the women’s division.
The timing of this tag team match was also interesting that is just less than two weeks ago from Royal Rumble. With such an intense title match coming up our way, we doubted whether Sasha Banks and Ronda Rousey can get along well as a team. This was the only reason that Nia Jax and Tamina might have had the upper hand while starting the match.
The babyface team was eventually able to pick up the big victory but they were not able to keep the differences away. Sasha Banks was the one to work almost the entire part of this match on WWE Raw from the get-go. Sasha Banks and Nia Jax started the match. Banks countered a powerbomb into a Frankensteiner and hit the knees into the corner. A back and forth action broke out before Sasha Banks locked in the sleeper hold.
Banks hit a sliding knee to keep Jax down before tagging Ronda Rousey into the match. A flurry of strikes kept the heels away from the ring who wanted to regroup going outside the ring. The Boss got the tag back only to receive some punishment from both Nia and Tamina. She countered with a jawbreaker. Banks hit a Russian leg sweep to lock in the Bank Statement on Tamina Snuka for the submission win.
Ronda Rousey ran into the ring to congratulate Sasha Banks on the victory. An interview session where WWE Raw women’s champion mentioned it will be her honor to defeat the Boss at Royal Rumble and defend the title successfully. Banks fired up saying she can’t wait to teach Rousey a lesson. To this, the Rowdy one mentioned Banks as the World’s Classiest Loser. Sasha made things intense promising to take the title away from the champion at Royal Rumble.
The confrontation continued even at backstage on WWE Raw. Natalya and Bayley had to interfere so that things would not go out of hands. It looks like that we are heading towards an intense matchup at Royal Rumble.
