Ronda Rousey going into this year’s show injured will never obscure what has been promotional malpractice for virtually all of her latest WWE stint.

She wasn’t as hot going into last year’s ‘Show Of Shows’, but the company booking her to lose there doused any remaining flames and it was a slow stroll to oblivion for the remainder of 2022. Her recent comments about “octogenarians who don’t care about women’s wrestling” were absolutely spot on, and her and Shayna Baszler gaining entry into this match by simply saying it out loud rather than qualifying spoke to this point too.

it’s the driest stuff from a narrative point of view because there’s just been no story to speak of on the undercard in months. This will not do, longterm, but if the company at least wish to give two women a chance to get over again in the aftermath, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez - the two most prominent losers to Rousey last year - deserve the victory. And if you can even still call it this, the scalp.

Winners - Raquel Rodriguez & Liv Morgan
