Ronda Rousey made her long-awaited in-ring debut on RAW, defeating Alicia Fox as well as sending a message to Alexa Bliss.
Fox and Alexa Bliss cut a pre-match promo where they talked trash on Rousey, including remarks about Rousey being a rookie and how Bliss would beat her at Summerslam. Fox remained cocky as the bell rang, but Rousey soon took control until Bliss got involved. Bliss attacked Natalya at ringside and tried to distract Rousey, but it was to no avail and Rousey made short work of her opponent.
Rousey won the match after taking Fox down with several judo throws, then locked eyes with Bliss as she made Fox tap to an armbar. Following the match, Charly Caruso asked Rousey for her thoughts, and she said she was happy to finally focus on Summerslam. Bliss ran in and attacked once again, but Rousey was unfazed and whipped Alexa out of the ring. Rousey then took the mic and said it didn’t matter how tight Alexa held that title, because it would be hers at Summerslam. Check out highlights from RAW Rousey’s debut below:
