Eventually, Robinson was taken out of the match with a wicked bump. In the process, the match official also missed Flair tapping out Rousey, which would've declared her the winner of the match and the new SmackDown Women's Champion.
However, Flair then rallied back into the match and caught Rousey with a big boot to the face. The Queen kept Rousey down for the three-count and retained her title.
