WWE News: Huge Raw debut match announced for next week
Ronda Rousey returned from suspension this week on Raw and was in Natalya's corner as she took on the returning Alicia Fox. It was explained by WWE Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss that Mickie James was injured, so she had handpicked Fox to take her place for this match against The Queen of Hearts.
There was a distraction by Fox as she tried to attack Rousey, which led to Bliss being able to attack Natalya. Fox then took advantage and picked up the win.
Rousey refused to take this lying down and attacked Bliss and Fox after the match, but Fox managed to get the upper hand when she threw the former UFC Champion into the barricade a number of times.
Of course, when Rousey headed backstage she wasn't happy about how things had turned out and told the General Manager that she was ready for a fight. It was then that Angle made the decision for Rousey to make her Raw in-ring debut next week - where she will take on Alicia Fox.
Rousey has only had two televised matches in her WWE career - a tag team match back at WrestleMania, and her match for the Raw Women's Championship against Nia Jax at Money in the Bank. This means that next week will be the first singles match that Rousey has had without a title on the line, as well as her first match on Raw.
It will definitely be a bout that Alexa Bliss will be watching closely.
Since Rousey sat out her suspension without an issue following Angle's announcement, the former UFC star will take on Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam in less than three weeks' time. So this will be Bliss' chance to send a message to her challenger ahead of their showdown.
