WWE RAW had an interesting show planned for the fans

#1 Flop on WWE RAW: Nikki A.S.H.

Nikki A.S.H. was back on WWE RAW to face former friend and tag team partner Rhea Ripley. The two superstars faced each other once again in a one-sided match that mostly saw Ripley dominate the encounter.

Nikki did have her moments in the about, but they were far too few to make an impact. In the end, The Nightmare beat her opponent, and “Almost a Superhero” had no place to fly. Two days ago, she was the first superstar to be eliminated from the Elimination Chamber match.

Now, the creative team is understandably inclined towards capitalizing on their history, but they have both already clashed in multiple matches before this week. The two superstars split up after Nikki A.S.H. repeatedly lost on RAW, and things haven’t changed for her ever since.

As a heel, she should at least be booked in a manner that makes her character seem more credible on television.

In fact, WWE could have easily booked her in a match against Alexa Bliss to exploit their history. After all, Nikki was Bliss’ first victim when she switched to a darker character.

Now that Alexa Bliss is seemingly returning to her older gimmick, it would make perfect sense to have her cross paths with her former friend and tag team partner. On the other hand, Rhea Ripley could have started a feud with Doudrop, allowing both superstars to engage in a promising storyline.
