He says that match will be Rollins’ last match after Lesnar destroys him. He says Rollins is just an after-thought to the likes of Brock Lesnar.

After the match, Rousey immediately punches Charlotte, Becky gets involved and a brawl ensues. Police officers end up having to run out and keep them away from each other. All 3 end up handcuffed and are separately escorted out of the arena. They do not go quietly and the officers have their hands full trying to maintain control. Michael Cole on commentary makes a big deal about how the main event stars of WrestleMania have all been arrested.
