Ronda Rousey Suffers First WWE Loss On RAW Before Royal Rumble

Ronda Rousey came into WWE with a lot of hype behind her. She was the big surprise at the end of last year’s Royal Rumble event. On the go-home show for the Royal Rumble one year later, Rousey suffered her first loss on RAW.

Rousey tagged with Natalya vs The Boss n Hug Connection in the main event of RAW this week. During the closing moments of the match, Sasha Banks locked the Bank Statement on Nattie and she tapped out.

Rousey got right in Sasha Banks’ face following the match, but it didn’t help the fact that her team lost. Although Rousey didn’t get pinned or submit herself, this still counts as a loss.

Perhaps WWE is testing the waters on Ronda Rousey getting actually defeated. Either way, it certainly puts Sasha Banks in a very good position as they head into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view because The Boss technically has a win over The Baddest Woman On The Planet now.
