WWE Philadelphia live results: Ronda Rousey vs. Nia Jax

With Ronda Rousey in action, the Raw roster kicked off their weekend of house shows in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania last night. They’ll be at Madison Square Garden tonight and Bridgeport, Connecticut on Sunday.

– Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler (w/ Drew McIntyre) defeated Seth Rollins to retain his title

– WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander defeated Buddy Murphy to retain his title

– Ember Moon, Bayley & Natalya defeated Alicia Fox, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan

Though she had already been cleared and briefly appeared in a backstage segment on Raw late last month, this was Fox’s first match since breaking her tailbone prior to the Royal Rumble. She teamed with the Riott Squad due to Ruby Riott’s sprained MCL.

– Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley

– Raw Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt defeated The B-Team (Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas) and Titus Worldwide (Titus O’Neil & Apollo Crews) in a triple threat match to retain their titles

Wyatt has already been cleared to return despite suffering “multiple injuries” in a car accident last week.

– Ronda Rousey defeated Nia Jax

Alexa Bliss entered as the special guest referee and announced that she decided they needed a second ref, then brought out Mickie James. Rousey got a good reaction and, after her induction the previous night, was announced as the first woman to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

Bliss, who mostly stayed on the outside, and James both got involved in the match. Jax played heel a bit, but they went against her too. Rousey used kicks to the face, punches, a knee strike, throws, chokes, an armbar in the ropes, and a crossbody. James counted slow for Rousey twice and faked hurting her wrist before attacking her. Rousey threw James and put her in an armbar but was hit with a leg drop from Jax. Bliss then attacked Jax when she went for the cover.

Jax eventually laid out James and Bliss. After another referee came out, Rousey fought off a Samoan drop and submitted Jax with an armbar.

– The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado) defeated Drew Gulak, Brian Kendrick & Jack Gallagher

This is a rare weekend where WWE has more than two cruiserweights on the road with the Raw roster.

– Bobby Lashley defeated Jinder Mahal (w/ Sunil Singh)

– Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman & Finn Balor defeated Kevin Owens, Elias & Baron Corbin
