WWE RAW is slowly picking pace ahead of the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view

#3 Impressed on WWE RAW: Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair gets another title match

Charlotte Flair was involved in yet another engaging match on WWE RAW this week. She faced Asuka in a hard-hitting exchange and eventually defeated The Empress of Tomorrow to win a shot at the WWE RAW Women’s Championship. Flair will now challenge Rhea Ripley for her title at Hell In A Cell. While it seems okay to criticize a repetitive angle, it would be unfair not to credit The Queen for her in-ring prowess.

Flair and Asuka share a long history that allows them to push each other to their limits in every meeting. Tonight was no different. the former was brutal right from the start, while Asuka dominated majorly with the counters. Both superstars delivered a few fantastic spots while battling for dominance on the mat at WWE RAW.

The Japanese superstar fought relentlessly until the very end and was even successful in countering Flair's creative submission moves.

In the end, she went for the Asuka Lock, but her opponent reversed it for a pinfall. Asuka was too surprised to respond, and Charlotte Flair managed to sneak away with a crucial victory on WWE RAW. She will now prepare to face Rhea Ripley at the upcoming Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.
