1. Ronda Rousey vs. Sasha Banks – Royal Rumble 2019
Asuka and Becky Lynch’s Women’s Championship match at the 2019 Royal Rumble wasn’t the only women’s world championship match that was a banger at the event. Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks’ encounter for the WWE (RAW) Women’s Championship stole the show. Unquestionably, this was one of the best matches in the Baddest Woman on the Planet’s career. The Boss sought her fifth reign as RAW’s top Women’s world champion.
There were some excellent technical exchanges between the duo. Rousey overpowered the Boss in some aspects of the match. However, Banks pushed Rousey to her absolute limit. Banks didn’t make life easy for the reigning champion. Both were motivated to put on a good match that the crowd could get behind. Despite Banks’ efforts, it wasn’t enough to dethrone Rousey for the gold. Rousey retained her title with the Piper’s Pit, and almost a year into her WWE career, it was the first time that Rousey won a match via pinfall. Afterward, both women acknowledged each other’s efforts, and they shook hands.
