Ronda Rousey finally has an opponent for the Royal Rumble. During the inaugural “Moment of Bliss” show, Ronda Rousey discussed how she didn’t want to look back to 2018 but rather to the future. She went on to discuss that Sasha Banks’ drive has impressed her, and that the former RAW Women’s Champion loved wrestling more than anyone.

The segment was interrupted by Nia Jax, who then asked Rousey for a rematch. However, Banks walked out and challenged Jax to a match, with the winner facing Rousey at the Royal Rumble. The two would go on to have a back-and-forth bout, but ultimately Banks got the upper hand and submitted her opponent.
