00:00It's tomorrow night when Monday Night Raw comes to Buffalo, New York.
00:02We are going to find out.
00:03We know one person who will not be at Monday Night Raw tomorrow night.
00:07That is Ronda Rousey, because her 30-day suspension from Raw is not lifted until Wednesday.
00:12However, Ronda's here tonight at Extreme Rules because she bought a ticket
00:17to be in the front row for our next matchup.
00:21And it is for the Raw Women's Championship.
00:24Alexa Bliss, who cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to win the title from Nia Jax last month.
00:29And Nia's match with Ronda Rousey.
00:32Well, for Alexa Bliss, it is all about getting ready for this match
00:36after making history at Money in the Bank.
00:39Of course, this is Ronda Rousey's first championship opportunity.
00:46And we are going to find out how ready Ronda Rousey is tonight.
00:51Nia Jax, perhaps the most powerful force the women's division has ever seen.
00:56Oh, my God.
00:58Ronda moved out of the way.
01:00It may have her opening.
01:02It's a Hail Mary.
01:05Going for the arm bar.
01:06Ronda is trying at the champion's arm.
01:11Ronda, a fingertip away.
01:13For the minutes.
01:17Alexa Bliss, the match is over.
01:20Alexa Bliss earlier tonight won the Money in the Bank contract.
01:23Now with the briefcase in hand, she's assaulting Rousey and the champion.
01:29She's cashing in.
01:35Alexa Bliss is champion.
01:37Not only is Nia Jax going to be furious, but
01:39Ronda Rousey just got screwed out of a chance at that title right there.
01:44Last night, I showed what it looks like to be a bully in the ring.
01:53And Nia Jax and someone who is just as much of a bully, Ronda Rousey.
01:59Well, there she is, the baddest woman on the planet.
02:03Did you come out here to show me all the bruises and
02:07welts that I left all over your body?
02:10Still hurts, doesn't it?
02:13And if you ever want a championship opportunity,
02:16you better get in the back of the line, you over-hyped rookie.
02:21Rousey takes down Bliss.
02:29Rousey took out the general manager.
02:32Ronda Rousey is completely proper, sir.
02:35This is inexcusable.
02:37My God, Bliss to the table.
02:46Rousey put Bliss to a table.
02:50I'm sorry, you're gonna be suspended for 30 days.
02:53You might even ruin your chance of ever being the Raw Women's Champion.
02:57He can suspend me for 30 days, but save your good luck wishes for Alexa Bliss.
03:03Cuz after these 30 days, I don't care if she's champion or not,
03:06I'm gonna be back here kicking her pink haired ass.
03:09The fact of the matter is I'm the one who's standing here tonight.
03:19Ronda's suspended for 30 days.
03:21Bye-bye.
03:22And I'm here as your Raw Women's Champion.
03:28Alexa, I was with Kurt Angle backstage and
03:33he just informed me that our Raw Women's Championship
03:39match will be an extreme rules match.
03:44Rules go out the window, you can do anything you want.
03:47Even though I'm suspended from Raw, I'm not suspended from extreme rules.
03:52And then I'll be buying a ticket.
03:54It's gonna be a front row ticket.
03:57This needs to end.
03:59And at extreme rules, it will.
04:04Here's the cover and Nia Jax, wait a minute.
04:09Bliss with a kendo stick.
04:10This Sunday perfectly legal.
04:13Alexa will try anything to try to wear me down, but it won't work.
04:17She cannot break me, but I can break her.
04:21My God.
04:25Nia Jax has some backup tonight.
04:48The following contest is an extreme rules match for
04:55the Raw Women's Championship.
05:00Introducing first and company by Natalya from San Diego,
05:04California, weighing 272 pounds, Nia Jax.
05:08Let's remind everyone why Ronda's here tonight.
05:11It was back to playing the bank last month.
05:13It was Nia versus Ronda for the Raw Women's Championship.
05:17It looked like Ronda was closing in on a victory to win the title,
05:20when Alexa Bliss cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to win the championship.
05:24And she also assaulted Ronda Rousey.
05:26Well, she did, but I'm starting to wonder,
05:29did Nia bring Natalya out here to get on Ronda's good side?
05:33We know they're good friends.
05:35I think she did.
05:36Nia brought Natalya out here because there's not enough security between her and
05:40Ronda Rousey.
05:41She also knew Alexa was gonna bring her buddy, Mickey.
05:43Accompanied by Mickey James from Columbus, Ohio.
05:47She is the Raw Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss.
05:52Nia Jax said to Alexa Bliss, you're not extreme, you're a liar,
05:55you're a cheater, and your days as champion are numbered.
06:00I really believe that Nia would like, I think this would be the perfect scenario.
06:04She beats Alexa Bliss tonight, and then Ronda Rousey is waiting in the wing.
06:08Nia wants another shot at Ronda.
06:11Coach, stop clapping your gums for a second.
06:13I guarantee you, Ronda Rousey has not forgotten what Alexa Bliss did to her at
06:18Money in the Bank.
06:19I wanna know how Ronda Rousey's not currently incarcerated.
06:24Remember, the reason Ronda was suspended from Raw is because of her assault not
06:28only on Bliss, but our general manager, Kurt Angle, the night after that happened.
06:32I think 30 days is a pretty light sentence if you ask me.
06:35Again, that suspension is up on Wednesday.
06:37Rousey bought a ticket to be here tonight at Extreme Rules.
06:41I love what Ronda Rousey said, hey, when that 30 days is over, don't worry,
06:45I'm gonna come back and kick her pink hair.
06:47You know what?
06:48I can't wait to see if she does back up that threat.
06:51For the first time in women's division history,
06:55the matchup will be contested under Extreme Rules.
06:59That means anything goes for the Raw women's title.
07:04Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss for the championship.
07:09And a story of two former best friends now bitter enemies battling for a title.
07:18Meanwhile, Bliss trying to play keep away here.
07:24On paper, Nia Jax- You see in the background there,
07:27that kendo stick that's floating around.
07:29That's being held by Mickie James, who is trying to offer it to Alexa Bliss.
07:33That might not have been the best decision that Alexa Bliss ever made.
07:37Yes. But maybe it's all a plan.
07:38Maybe it's all a plot, an ingenious strategy.
07:41Kendo stick to Nia.
07:43See?
07:44Again, legal under Extreme Rules.
07:47And again, Nia Jax shredding the kendo stick.
07:50Well, I like the fact that she started real quick with it, but
07:53now that she doesn't have it.
07:55Now Mickie James sending a trash can towards Bliss.
07:58What I'm learning right now is Natalya's chair is really bad at being a corner person.
08:03And Natalya just watching all this happen on the other side of the ring.
08:07Nia's doing just fine on her own.
08:08Yes, she is.
08:09I think Natalya's enjoying this.
08:10As every time a weapon is introduced into the match,
08:12Nia Jax just grabs it and tosses it back into the ring.
08:16How much is under the ring?
08:18Well, they keep getting those sticks under there in case of ninjas.
08:21And Alexa Bliss trying desperately to run away from Nia Jax.
08:25Finally caught by the challenger.
08:27Man.
08:27And then blasted by Nia.
08:32Extreme Rules, folks.
08:34Anything goes.
08:36To the Raw Women's Title.
08:39As Bliss is sent back into the ring, Nia Jax up on the apron.
08:46I wanna know where you find trash can lids that don't have handles on them.
08:51Nia Jax splashing Bliss in the corner as again, Natalya looks on.
08:56Very good friends with Nia.
08:57Of course, really good friends with Ronda Rousey, who's at ringside tonight.
09:01And now a- My God.
09:02Bliss under the steel chair.
09:04Got us into a trash can.
09:06That would have been a travesty.
09:07The chair as well.
09:09Those are hard edges.
09:11Dangerous.
09:15What are hard edges?
09:16The trash can.
09:17Uh-oh.
09:20Just tearing the chair away from Bliss.
09:24Alexa doesn't know what to do.
09:25She's extremely desperate here.
09:27This would be a perfect opportunity to get yourself disqualified and
09:30keep your championship.
09:32Or count it out, which I strongly recommend Bliss try.
09:35Yeah, but that won't happen.
09:35I know. It's the same rules, Corey.
09:37Pinfall of submission ends this thing.
09:41And now Nia Jax with Bliss up on her shoulder.
09:48And look at the power of Nia Jax.
09:51Jax looking around here almost effortlessly.
09:53My God.
09:58And Ronda's loving it at ringside.
10:03I think that Nia may be closing in on yet another championship reign.
10:08Yeah, she definitely wants that title back in the worst way.
10:11And if you can instill this much punishment in the process,
10:14boy, that's a great night for Nia Jax.
10:17Again, she realizes she must get Bliss back into the ring,
10:20because that's where the pinfall of submission must take place.
10:23Alexa Bliss, the champion,
10:24almost looked like she was crying there for a moment.
10:26Watch out, watch out, watch out.
10:29Again, trying to- Find some sort of debris in her eyes.
10:30And using the trash can lid to bring Nia down to both knees.
10:37And now right across the back.
10:40And again.
10:42And now Bliss showing her mean streak.
10:44That's pretty good for unfamiliar territory with Alexa Bliss.
10:48Using a trash can.
10:49You don't think a goddess actually handles trash, do you?
10:58Speechless, Corey.
11:00Well, it's about time.
11:03As Bliss sets a steel chair up now in the corner.
11:08It does seem like to me that Alexa has adapted to the extreme rules.
11:12Cover, cover by the champ and a kick out.
11:14Has adapted to these extreme rules a little bit faster than Nia Jax.
11:20Gosh, she has such a history of cheating, coach.
11:23She actually can use these things legally tonight.
11:27Uh-oh.
11:29My.
11:30What a shot.
11:31Nia just uncorked the right hand and Bliss now attempting to
11:35maybe reposition the steel chair.
11:39And a headbutt drives Bliss down again.
11:43Nia Jax is- My God, shoulder first into the steel chair.
11:48Alexa just barely was able to get out of the way.
11:54And what does Bliss do now?
11:56The challenge is in trouble.
11:57Cover, cover.
11:59Now Natalya wants to play.
12:00Natalya gets involved and Vickie's gonna pay.
12:04And now Nia loading on James.
12:06Yeah, picking your spots.
12:09I think it was an act of cowardice by Natalya.
12:11And now Bliss attacking Natalya.
12:13Vickie had her back to Natalya.
12:15That was a real sneaky move by Natalya.
12:18And Natalya driven into the barricade.
12:22What is more important, the women's title?
12:26And look at Ronda Rousey now.
12:27Ronda Rousey's had enough.
12:29Here comes Ronda.
12:30Ronda Rousey going right after Mickie James.
12:33And Mickie now whipped into the barricade.
12:37Again, Ronda Rousey.
12:39Ronda Rousey's lost it.
12:40Sending Mickie into the apron and then back into the ring.
12:42Somebody get security out here.
12:44Ronda's not allowed on this side of the barricade.
12:47And Rousey with Mickie up high.
12:49You go tell her, Corey.
12:51Ronda Rousey.
12:52Oh my God.
12:54Rousey's unleashed on James.
13:02And now sending Mickie into the German announce table.
13:04Ronda Rousey's lost it.
13:06Look at her face.
13:08Look at the look in the eyes of Rousey.
13:10Well, now those eyes have turned.
13:12No, run Bliss, run.
13:13And she's looking right at Alexa Bliss.
13:19And Alexa Bliss realizes what's happening here.
13:23And Ronda Rousey's making a beeline.
13:26A beeline for the champion.
13:27And Bliss taking her to the barricade.
13:30And Rousey's got Bliss.
13:31And now James from behind with a kendo stick.
13:35And again, Mickie James.
13:41Ronda Rousey taking out
13:44as Mickie James used a kendo stick.
13:49And now Bliss going up to the top rope.
13:51This thing's still going on.
13:52It's all within the rules.
13:54Caught by Nia.
13:55Look at the power.
14:00Nia Jax.
14:01Looking for the Samoan Drop.
14:02And Mickie with a steel chair, completely legal under extreme rules.
14:09And now Bliss with a chair of her own.
14:14Alexa unloading on Nia Jax.
14:18And there's nothing that Nia Jax can do about it.
14:22DDT out of the chair by Bliss.
14:25Cover by Alexa.
14:27Got her.
14:28Bliss remains.
14:34Oh, wait a minute.
14:34Rousey's back in the ring.
14:38But Mickie James and Alexa Bliss.
14:40Here is your winner and still the Raw Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss.
14:45If you're Kurt Angle, you've got to suspend Rousey for more than 30 days now.
14:50There's got to be some sort of repercussions.
14:52Rousey bought a ticket.
14:53That does not give you permission to get inside the ring during a contest.
14:58And I agree with you on that point, Corey.
14:59But remember, extreme rules.
15:01Anything goes.
15:02No disqualification.
15:03Rousey was provoked.
15:05Well, I guess the guy in the fourth row should jump in then too, right?
15:07And it's got to get under Rousey's skin incredibly deep that she got in the mix.
15:14And at the end of the day, who walked away with the women's title?
15:17Well, listen, Ronda's friend Natalya was being assaulted.
15:19She was being double teamed by Bliss and James and Ronda had had enough.
15:24She completely lost it here.
15:26And Ronda Rousey just tore Mickie James apart.
15:29I think we all agree and understand coming to the aid of a good friend.
15:34But at the end of the day, if I'm Nia Jax, I got to be thinking,
15:38did you really come in and did that even help me?
15:41Because the answer is no.
15:43No, it didn't at all.
15:45And now with a kendo stick from behind,
15:48Mickie James took out the Ronda Rousey threat momentarily.
15:52And then James again would get involved.
15:55Steel chair.
15:57Completely legal.
15:58No disqualification.
16:00Alexa Bliss with a chair of her own.
16:02And Alexa Bliss, with the help of Mickie James,
16:06would retain her Raw Women's Championship.
16:11I hate to admit it, but Alexa Bliss,
16:13she looked at home in an Extreme Rules match.
16:18And as she says, it's all about her.
16:20And tonight, it certainly was.
16:22Yeah, but Ronda Rousey has not forgotten.
