So last night's Raw opened a lot of work for me today... Too much segments!!!
Just kidding 😆😆😆!!!
It was nice that there were more women's segments aside from the fact that Becky's announcement equals five women's segments LOL!!! (It's true)
So let's see what we got...
Charlotte Flair defeated Ruby Riott in a nice battle, as Ruby just like Liv put a lot of fire and fight. I love watching Riott working in-ring and in better times she might wear some gold, but she lost some momentum and these days it's hard to take it back. Especially when a beautiful Triple Threat rivalry with your former teammates is taken away. Charlotte did what Charlotte does better - winning! Overall, a nice package of a match preceded by a segment.
Liv Morgan talked about her mother who is her hero and more...
Then Kairi Sane and the new Raw Women's Champion Asuka had a (poor) celebration (involving only them) that was crashed by Nia Jax who put herself first in line for a title shot opportunity. So, Nia ended the show beaten twice by The Empress - first, out of the ring and second time - backstage when she attacked Sane, and pissed off Asuka who kicked the brain out of the Jax's head. Nice! Kind of expected. Jax is earning heat really fast so it was obvious that she might challenge for the belt.
By the way, we were reminded that Asuka is the second Grand slam champion,... after Bayley! Nice...
I am disappointed with the women's tag team post-match, the backstage angle where Billie Kay slapped Peyton Royce. If WWE is willing to disband the IIconics they will bury this tag team division. The match end wasn't that bad, then the taste of eventual break up between the two Australian Superstars. That will mean that the tag team division will be non-existing. Don't do it! The title match ended as I predict - with Bliss and Cross retaining, sadly via DQ!
Natalya displayed of a temper tantrum after losing to Shayna Baszler in a submission match was nice. I like it more than the match. Throwing chairs out of the ring - kind of new side for Nattie. Looks like someone is tired of losing.
RESULTS:
⭐⭐ WWE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION CHARLOTTE FLAIR defeated RUBY RIOTT;
⭐⭐⭐⭐ NIA JAX CRASHED ASUKA AND KAIRI SANE'S RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP CELEBRATION.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ALEXA BLISS & NIKKI CROSS retained their titles against THE IICONICS OF BILLIE KAY & PEYTON ROYCE, via DQ;
⭐⭐⭐ SHAYNA BASZLER defeated NATALYA, in a Submission match.
