Ronda Rousey – Survivor Series 2018
Remember Ronda Rousey - ace MMA fighter turned wrestler? Charlotte went face to face with Ronda at WWE Survivor Series in 2018. The Queen not only managed to avoid her Armbar throughout the match, but she came really close to beating Ronda with a Figure-Eight. The match ended in a disqualification as Charlotte attacked her with a kendo stick. She busted her open with a massive elbow to the face. The disqualification was only the beginning of the post-match brutality that Charlotte had to bring Ronda that night. Nevertheless, the two athletes treated the fans at Staples Center to a Wrestlemania-worthy main event which had the fans at the edge of their seats throughout the encounter.
