For those expecting Ronda Rousey to get physically involved in pro wrestling on Tuesday night, while the former UFC bantamweight champion was at ringside and focused on heavily during the show, it never happened.

Instead, World Wrestling Entertainment attempted to do a dignified event, as much as that can be in their world of pro wrestling, as it was Kairi Sane who was chosen to defeat former MMA fighter Shayna Baszler in the finals of the first Mae Young Classic, a 32-woman pro wrestling tournament, at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

The tournament was taped in July, but hadn't aired until the past few weeks on the WWE Network.
