According to WWE, automatic title rematches are a thing of the past. Apparently, that doesn't extend to underserving challengers who are soundly hammered with ease on pay-per-view, because Ruby Riott was handed another shot at Ronda Rousey on Raw.

We're still not sure why.

Ruby didn't earn that chance. She was squashed flat at the Chamber, and so shouldn't have been rewarded with another chance on TV. This was blatant time filler on an episode that could have done with less.
