<p><strong>Ronda Rousey</strong> has pushed the <strong>Raw Women&#8217;s Championship</strong> into the spotlight over the past few months, but with <strong>Alexa Bliss</strong> on the sidelines and <strong>Nia Jax</strong> already defeated a few weeks back, Rousey needed a new challenger for the Royal Rumble. </p>



<p>There was talk towards the end of the year that Charlotte and Becky Lynch would be allowed to make the switch over to challenge for the Raw Women&#8217;s Championship, but it was made clear last night on Raw that this wasn&#8217;t going to be the case. </p>

<p>Instead, Ronda Rousey seemingly made it clear that she had a lot of praise for Sasha Banks as part of her appearance on Alexa Bliss&#8217; <em>Moment of Bliss</em> talk show, which wasn&#8217;t received well by Nia Jax. </p>



<p>After the two women got in each other&#8217;s face, it was announced that a match would take place later on Raw and the winner would then face Rousey for the Raw Women&#8217;s Championship at Royal Rumble. </p>

<p>Sasha Banks was able to withstand a lot of abuse throughout the match before she latched on The Bank Statement and picked up a huge win to kick off 2019. </p>

<p>Last year&#8217;s Rumble didn&#8217;t feature any Women&#8217;s Championship matches, so it&#8217;s unclear if the women involved in these matches as challengers will be given the opportunity to pull double duty like many of the men. </p>



<p>What is known is that Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks will now face off for the first time for the Women&#8217;s Championship and this could well be Rousey&#8217;s toughest test as Champion since Banks has already lifted that title on four different occasions since she was promoted to the main roster back in 2016. </p>
