The former UFC Champion walked into SummerSlam as the bookies' favourite, but few could've foreseen her dominance.

Alexa Bliss barely mounted a slither of offence against Rousey. Though she successfully evaded Ronda at the beginning, she was goaded back inside when the challenger literally turned her back on her, then sat down in the middle of the ring. It was all Rousey from there, and after soundly battering the self-proclaimed 'Goddess Of WWE,' Ronda twisted Alexa's double-jointed arm back on itself, then tapped her out with the armbar.

The bout didn't even last four minutes, and has already provoked a divisive response. Still, you can't call someone 'The Baddest Women On The Planet' without strong booking, and Rousey looked unstoppable last night.
