Ronda Rousey suspended from Raw for 30 days

Ronda Rousey has been suspended from Monday Night Raw for 30 days after attacking Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, two WWE officials and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle.

The incident occurred one night after WWE Money in the Bank, where Bliss caused Rousey's Raw Women's Championship Match against Nia Jax to end in disqualification. The Goddess then cashed in her newly won Money in the Bank contract on The Irresistible Force to claim the title.

Jax will challenge Bliss for the title in a rematch at WWE Extreme Rules. Rousey, meanwhile, will be barred from Monday Night Raw until Wednesday, July 18 ? three days after that event.

@therealkurtangle I sincerely apologize for my behavior tonight.... Though you were the first to put hands on me, I shouldn't have let my temper get the best of me....Despite the fact I was cheated, provoked, and disrespected by Alexa... i shouldn't have been willing to go through you to get to her. I'll gladly serve my suspension ... but Alexa, know that every moment you don't see me i am thinking of you and preparing for your comeuppance. So you in 30 days #LittleMissBish
