RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss comes to the ring with Mickie James by her side. Alexa says that despite kendo sticks, chairs, trash cans, and overhyped rookies, she’s still the Champion. Mickie claps while the fans boo. No one believed she could do it, but they were wrong. The one true goddess stands victorious. Bliss has dominated the entire women’s division because the strongest muscle she has is her brain. Outsmarting Nia Jax last night wasn’t that hard. Bliss says she has beaten every single woman in the locker room. A very light “Ronda Rousey” chant starts up. Bliss says Ronda Rousey doesn’t count. She’s not in the locker room because she’s suspended. After last night, she should be suspended indefinitely. Rousey was supposed to be here as a fan sitting in the front row.
Suddenly, we see Ronda Rousey walking to the ring through the crowd – the fans get hyped. Bliss says she’s said all she needs to say and starts to leave the ring. Rousey runs to the top of the ramp to cut her off. Rousey chases them to the ring and catches Mickie James. Rousey gets James on her shoulders and slams her down. She goes for an arm bar, but Bliss and the referees pull James out of the ring. Rousey chases after them and knocks everyone down with a leaping attack.
Rousey grabs Bliss by the hair and sends her to the ring. Rousey goes to apply the arm bar, but Kurt Angle runs out and says she needs to calm down, especially after last night. Angle says she has two days left of her suspension. She needs to go home and wait it out, which Rousey is less than pleased about. Constable Baron Corbin says Rousey needs to be reprimanded for her actions. Corbin tells Angle to put his foot down and do his job. Angle says he’ll have to tack on another week to her suspension. Corbin says that isn’t enough. Stephanie McMahon won’t be pleased with this. Corbin says he’ll call her right now, but he left his phone in the office and he leaves to get it.Angle pulls out Corbin’s phone. Angle says if she can wait out her suspension, he’ll give her a match against Alexa Bliss. If she can’t wait it out, the match is off. This isn’t just any match. It’ll be a RAW Women’s Championship match at SummerSlam! Rousey looks ecstatic while Bliss looks terrified and furious.
Seth Rollins is backstage with Charly Caruso. Rollins says last night wasn’t his night. Tonight is his night, as will next Monday and SummerSlam. If his road to SummerSlam goes through Roman Reigns, despite how much he loves him, he’ll do what he has to do. If he knows Reigns, he’d say the same.
