5. Will Ronda Rousey be able to work a good match with Nia Jax?

I am sure that anyone who saw Rousey compete at WrestleMania will agree she is a natural inside the ropes. Rousey portrayed a true professional wrestler with ease. She was quick on her feet, had her facial expressions and mannerisms well done and even the transitions between her moves were a treat.

But you also have to remember that there was no lack of experience in the ring. Even Stephanie McMahon had more experience competing in a WWE ring in that match. Moreover, two veterans were there to control majority of the action. Come Money in the Bank, you will have to remove all these variables from the equations.

It is a one on one match between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey. There are no gimmicks either, except for a straight on wrestling match. How will it fare though? Jax’s imposing size and power moves are her biggest asset. For an opponent to make her and the match look good, they will need to work a style that highlights Jax’s size and strength as well.

But the question is, can Rousey do that? Will she have the in-ring awareness and skill to do it on her own? Amidst opinions that this is too soon for Ronda Rousey to be in a title match, she will need to bring her best. Because if she doesn’t, fans will begin to question her abilities and wonder if it is indeed too soon to put her on top of the division.
