Ronda Rousey Gets Help From Baszler
Rousey started off the match in control, but Blackheart quickly got in offense. She was battling the “Queen of Spades” throughout the short match as well. While fighting off Baszler, Blackheart flipped Rousey over the barricade into the crowd. She sent Baszler over too. They were in the laps of two fans when Blackheart did a crossbody and took them all out.
Rousey put Blackheart in the Piper’s Pit and into an arm bar to make her opponent tap. She did not, in fact, snap Blackheart’s ankle.
