It will be "Boss Time" at the Royal Rumble when Sasha Banks challenges Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Title.
Banks earned her title shot by defeating Nia Jax on Monday's episode of Raw. Prior to the match, Ronda Rousey called out Banks as the woman she wanted to face at the Royal Rumble. Nia Jax objected to Rousey's request and a bout between Jax and Banks was booked to determine the No. 1 contender.
