Various: Ronda Rousey Promo Issues, NJPW 47th Anniversary Event Full Card, Indies

Update on This Week’s Final Segment on WWE RAW

Ronda Rousey’s promo during last night’s episode of WWE RAW reportedly was originally planned to be longer in length, according to Post Wrestling.

Due to Rousey rushing through her lines prior to attacking both Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, this led to the backstage interview with Stephanie McMahon having to fill up the extra time on the spot. This resulted in both timing issues and the abrupt cut back to Rousey in the ring prior to the show going off the air.
