Watch: Bat Invades Monday Night Raw, Terrifying Ronda Rousey

An unwelcome visitor got a front row seat at Raw this week.
During Ember Moon’s match against Alexa Bliss, a bat flew down from the rafters of the Greensboro Coliseum and went right to the ring. While it didn’t get too close to Moon and Bliss, the flying mammal was a little too close for Ronda Rousey’s comfort. The broadcast even showed Rousey saying, “Oh my god, there’s a bat.”
WWE posted extended footage of the invasion, which also shows a camera man kicking the bat.
Moon, who won the match, took it as a sign.
Omg my spirit animal! https://t.co/2rGq6bewPR
