Last night on Raw, WWE showcased their top-notch video production skills once again, this time highlighting the intense feud between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler ahead of their highly anticipated match at SummerSlam. The video package showcased their history in both mixed martial arts and professional wrestling, providing fans with a deeper understanding of the personal rivalry between the two competitors.
However, the video package also revealed an interesting detail about their upcoming match. It was announced that Rousey and Baszler will be competing in an MMA Rules Match at Ford Field on August 5th. This raises the question: what exactly is an MMA Rules Match in the context of WWE?
While WWE has incorporated elements of mixed martial arts and unscripted combat sports in the past with concepts like the Fight Pit and Raw Underground, there has been no mention of a cage or other structure for this match. It is unlikely that the ropes will be removed from the ring for just one match on the SummerSlam card, and it is also doubtful that judges will be brought in to break the match into timed rounds.
So, what do MMA Rules entail in this case? It is possible that the match will require a victory by submission or stoppage, similar to traditional MMA matches. However, WWE has not provided any further clarification on the specific rules of the match.
As fans eagerly await SummerSlam, it remains to be seen whether WWE will provide more information about the rules of the Rousey vs. Baszler MMA Rules Match. Will they shed light on the stipulations and provide a clear understanding of what to expect? Only time will tell.
