High: An emotional Nia Jax takes her place as champion.

<p>

In a match that was just right, Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss to win the WWE Raw women's championship.

Nia was fraught with emotion for the whole match, selling the sense of betrayal and feelings of inadequacy that were hallmarks of their build-up feud. Nia even bellowed "I LOVED YOU" to Bliss at one point in the match.

As soon as Nia won--with a super Samoan Drop, no less--she burst into tears, because beating up someone who used to be your best friend should be painful. Her tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy as she was handed her new title belt, and led to one of the night's brighter spots.
