WWE RAW Flops and Hits: Brock Lesnar dream match confirmed for Royal Rumble, epic reunion with Paul Heyman (January 3rd, 2022)

#2 Flop on WWE RAW: Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley's current equation

On WWE RAW, Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley attempted to win the Women's Tag Team Championships once again. Unfortunately, the duo fell short against the reigning champions, Queen Zelina and Carmella.

While Nikki and Rhea Ripley losing the title match isn't a bad thing, the manner of their defeat is bound to raise eyebrows. Once again, we saw the former lose the in-ring encounter in an underwhelming fashion.

Another loss via a roll-up pinfall on WWE RAW made Nikki look weak, and it begs the question if the creative team is using this angel to plant the seeds of her split with Rhea Ripley. While The Nightmare would be great as a singles competitor, there's a massive problem with this booking if a split is in the works.

Apart from Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H., there's no other women's tag team on WWE RAW or SmackDown who can compete for the titles. Thus, splitting them will effectively leave the champions as the only active competitors in the women's tag team division.

This reeks of poor planning, and the writers desperately need to establish new women's tag teams before they split up the only potential challengers for Queen Zelina and Carmella.
