Can Ronda Rousey lock in the armbar on Nia Jax at WWE Money in the Bank? The answer may well determine whether or not The Baddest Woman on the Planet can become Raw Women’s Champion — and The Irresistible Force is feeling good about her chances of escaping Rousey’s dreaded signature maneuver.
During her bout against a local named Michelle Webb, the Raw Women’s Champion allowed herself to be placed in the hold, at which point she demonstrated her planned counter by hoisting Webb into the air and ruthlessly powerbombing her into the mat. She then dropped Webb with a Samoan Drop before demonstrating her further prowess by administering a leg drop and a rolling senton. Having apparently made her point, Nia invited “Rowdy” Ronda into the ring to help Webb to her feet.
As it turned out, however, her greatest statement was yet to come: Nia remained unfazed even when Rousey got in her face, laughing off The Baddest Woman on the Planet’s mean mug before turning her back on the challenger and strutting her way back to the locker room. Most of Rousey’s power lies in her ability to dismantle opponents before the bell even rings. Against Jax, she’ll clearly have no such advantage.
