While R-Truth already had a big match planned for the night on RAW against Randy Orton, the legendary Superstar agreed to defend his 24/7 Championship against Akira Tozawa who came out with three ninjas by his side.

Before the match could get on the way, Shayna Baszler made her much-awaited return to WWE RAW, appearing on the brand for the first time since the beginning of May.

She ripped through Tozawa’s ninjas and stared down Truth who voluntarily left the ring without having anything to do with The Queen of Spades.

Baszler then proceeded to let out a warning to the entire women’s division and promised a reality check. She went on to say “I am that reality” to ensure that her message was conveyed loud and clear.

I’m not back. I never left. #Reality #NinjaKiller https://t.co/mvwEiuZElx

It was great to see Baszler back on television, especially after reports suggested that the higher-ups were losing faith in her. She is arguably the most consistent and dominant performer in WWE today, and the company needed to bring her back in time for the new RAW Women’s Champion to get on her heels.
