The match between Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax stole the show at MITB. This match overshadowed all the other championship encounters.
Even the ladder matches turned out to be much pale in comparison to this colourful bout. It witnessed not only solid contests but also a shocking MITB cash-in that crowned a new champion on WWE Raw.
Ronda Rousey was in the driver’s seat in this contest between two behemoths. She was able to lock the arm-bar and reached a state where Jax was moments away from tapping out.
Alexa Bliss ran out with her MITB briefcase out of nowhere and hit both the competitors with it. Later she successfully invoked the title match contract and pinned Nia to win back the gold.
Now the current reports are suggesting Ronda Rousey, and Nia Jax rehearsed this match a multiple times. Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported the match was nearly perfect courtesy of sincere planning of the creative team. Furthermore, the two competitors put efforts into it to make the match a memorable affair.
There ought to be a concrete reason behind this pre-match rehearsal between the two competitors. Ronda Rousey had not competed in any singles contest in the WWE before MITB. She debuted at Wrestlemania 34 in a mixed tag team match. Later several such house shows witnessed her performing in numerous such women’s division tag team contests.
But the feel is different when it comes to a one-on-one match. So, it was a right decision to make the stage rehearsal happen before the actual PPV show. The outcome was solid, as a result. Not only the fans but also the critics praised Ronda Rousey for showing tremendous resiliency in this match. She was indeed born-ready to enter the squared circle.
The source also disclosed the person responsible for putting this match on TV. Former WWE superstars and the current WWE executive, Fit Finlay is the man behind this show-stellar at MITB. He also received praises backstage after coming up with this incredible bout which has now become one of the best matches in 2018.
We have previously reported that women superstars rehearsed a lot for the bygone PPV event. They did not take part in the house shows that took place before the MITB PPV event to achieve perfection in their performances. All of them including Ronda Rousey over-delivered to their performances following these sessions, to say the least.
