Nia Jax to defend title against Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank

Ronda Rousey will challenge for the RAW Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank next month in Chicago. 

Current champ Nia Jax put out the challenge to Rousey today during the NBCUniversal upfronts at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Rousey would respond by telling Nia that she thought a lot of other girls deserved to challenge for the title more than her at this point but the champ would insist until Rousey accepted. 

Rousey’s lone professional match took place at WrestleMania 34 where she would emerge victorious alongside Kurt Angle in a mixed tag match against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Nia has been successful in all eight of her title defenses thus far with seven taking place at house shows and one taking place at Backlash on the WWE Network. 

Money in the Bank is set to take place on June 17th inside of the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
