SummerSlam Becomes ‘Rowdy’ as Ronda Rousey Snaps After ‘Controversial’ Loss
Follow Us
The moment finally came as Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan, two of the women’s division’s strongest and most formidable wrestlers, faced one another at the biggest party of the summer. Morgan had earlier succeeded in winning her well-deserving first title after winning and cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase. Following that, Rowdy shook Morgan’s hand and acknowledged her victory.
However, the two got involved in a quarrel, so their bonding and respect did not last for long. And Rowdy decided to face Morgan rather than continue her rivalry with Natalya in order to reclaim her championship.

When Ronda Rousey entered the battle, she did it quickly and powerfully, sending Morgan all around the ring. While Morgan initially refrained from attacking Rowdy, the fight quickly heated up.
Morgan began taking over thanks to her code breaker and some clever maneuvers. It didn’t last long, though, as Rousey used her arms lock and ropes lock to assault Morgan’s arm and cause her to end up fighting with just one arm. Morgan was obviously suffering.

Rousey attempted to use her arm again when she sensed that she was in agony. Moreover, she once again attempted to lock her arm. However, the referee immediately started the pin count as soon as her back touched the ring. Consequently, Morgan did controversially retain her title.
After that, Rousey was obviously upset with the official’s decision, and while Morgan was celebrating, she rushed from behind and began hammering Morgan’s arm once again. After this, Rousey continued and assaulted the referee’s arms as well, prompting the WWE officials to enter and save the referee from Rousey’s anger.
