Last night at SummerSlam, Ronda Rousey savaged Alexa Bliss to win the Raw Women’s Championship, becoming the first woman to have ever held a title in both UFC and WWE. But if you ask Stephanie McMahon, the victory was as much hers as it was Ronda’s, which meant The Baddest Woman on the Planet’s coronation ceremony quickly turned into a victory lap for Stephanie, who claimed to have singlehandedly molded Rousey in her own image and turned her into a champion.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet was quick to correct the commissioner, inviting the assembled Superstars onto the apron so she could give them proper credit for paving the way for her — from Natalya for serving as the division’s “cornerstone” to Sasha Banks and Bayley for tearing the house down at NXT TakeOver and helping spark the Evolution.
Stephanie balked, claiming Rousey was being disingenuous and wouldn’t hesitate to break the arms of every Superstar on the apron. Ronda calmly countered by saying she would only break the arms of the deserving — a group Stephanie evidently belonged to. Rousey flipped the Commissioner over, locked her in the Armbar and sent her rolling out of the ring before posing with her title and the Superstars who made her reign possible in the first place.
