10 Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam 2018 Rumours You Need To Know

6. Ronda Rousey Claims The Raw Women's Title

Though it feels like we're a million bricks short of the necessary build for Ronda Rousey's eventual and expected coronation, there's a pretty significant reason why WWE may just go ahead and jump the gun: Evolution.

Realistically, a show designed to celebrate the company's new-fangled focus on women wrestlers as more than eye candy cannot be built around Alexa Bliss or Carmella - two performers who - stepping into rocky Meltzer foot-in-mouth territory here - are the beneficiaries more of their visual attributes than in-ring acumen. It's the understatement of the century that Bliss is a number of levels above Carmella, but neither is currently the embodiment of legitimate female wrestling the company want to promote in October.

Ronda Rousey, despite contesting just three matches, is - or at least, can be. And what's more, she's Ronda bloody Rousey. Building Evolution around her is a total bro' nainer, even if it does effectively end her long-term narrative.
