One of AEW's rising stars, Tay Conti took to Twitter to congratulate and praise the new WWE RAW Women's Champion, Nikki A.S.H.

Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair clashed during this week's RAW main event for the title wherein Charlotte retained after getting intentionally disqualified. Ripley, enraged, attacked The Queen post-match and laid her out with a Riptide on the floor.

In a surprising turn of events, Nikki A.S.H. rushed to the ring and cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to pin Charlotte and become the WWE RAW Women's Champion for the first time in her career.
