Kudos are in order to Ember Moon and Ronda Rousey, who main-evented Raw Monday night and defeated Nia Jax and Tamina, with Snuka taking the loss via Eclipse and armbar combo.

Moon was a substitute for Natalya, who was injured earlier in the show, but they managed to work together to topple the cousins. Rousey still is learning as she goes, but she was fine in this tag match, in which the faces came out on top by going straight at the dominant heels.

A pretty cool moment came when Rousey got the hot tag and started beating on Tamina. She then dropped her right into her own corner at Jax’s feet. Ronda then started yelling, “Tag her in!” at Tamina, gesturing toward Nia that she wanted her. It was a badass move that defies tag team logic. Jax, to her credit, did the perfect heel move, getting tagged in and then immediately tagging out.

Ultimately, Tamina fell to Moon and Rousey, which was a pretty decent ending to the episode.
