WWE RAW REPORT: DO YOU LIKE MCMAHONS?, BARON'S SWAN SONG?, A GAUNTLET, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-12-17 23:00:00

We are back and WWE Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey makes her way to the ring.

We see what Ronda Rousey did during the Smackdown Women's Title Match at TLC.

Ronda says she told Nia Jax she could kiss that right hand she is so proud of goodbye.  She told Charlotte Flair she would write the next chapter of their story.  She told Becky Lynch she was the last person to provoke.  Ronda says she did not come here to justify her actions, she came here to justify her actions.

A champion, a real champion is so much more than just a title someone puts before your name or an object you can put in your hands.  A real champion is more than the winner of a match.  A real champion represents the limit of human potential, the best of the best.  A real champion is the best that the human race can offer.  That is why she is here tonight.  Ronda suggests we start a new tradition.  After each pay per view, the champion should show up and defend their title.  Ronda says she came here for a fight and she is making an open challenge.

All of the women yell at the people in the gorilla position and Stephanie McMahon tells them to come out with her.

Stephanie says all of these women want a title match against you and they are all deserving of one.  Stephanie says she is not playing favorites any more so you have to earn it.  There will be a gauntlet match and you will face the winner.
