12. Nia Doesn't Know The Rules

The feed cut backstage at about the 40-minute mark. Nia Jax was shown conversing with a referee, going through "what she can and can't do in the match with Ronda Rousey," according to the commentary team, with the now-former Raw Women's Champion throwing a few shadow elbow strikes for good measure.

The implication here is that Nia Jax, even after three years in the business, doesn't know the rules.

That a trained professional needs to clarify the regulations ahead of a big title fight is laughable enough, but the context makes it even worse. Rousey is a rookie. This was her second match. If anyone should be checking the rules, it's her, yet WWE chose to present their 'Irresistible Force' like a forgetful dope instead. Great work, guys...
