10 WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 Impulse Reactions
5. Ruby Red
1:40 was exactly 1:40 longer than any member of the McMahon family spent considering the possibility that Ruby Riott might actually dethrone Ronda Rousey on the Road To WrestleMania - 'The Baddest Woman On The Planet's Sonya Blade cosplay gear may have proved prohibitive in a competitive clash, but that's not what this was.
An elongated squash was perhaps not the match Riott would have liked with (some of) the world watching, but this exact type of dominant Rousey display was needed at this exact moment. She proved herself a vital utility cog in the WWE system, if not the wrestling machine she perhaps considers herself. This itself looms in the shadow of her infamous dead Dad craic with Natalya - she's shown great versatility during these times, if nothing else.
Ahead of the showdown with her 'Show Of Show' challenger(s?), Ronda Rousey showed herself as the Raw Women's Division destroyer. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair's rivalry has transcended the woman's revolution all the way to the WrestleMania main event (more on that later), but outsider Rousey will be anything but a bystander on the biggest night of the year.
