#3 Hit on WWE RAW: Nikki A.S.H. gets her revenge against Charlotte Flair

Nikki A.S.H. and Charlotte Flair

WWE RAW Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H. faced Charlotte Flair in a brutal No Holds Barred Match this week that saw them use chairs and tables as weapons. The Queen dominated most of the match, and staying true to her current gimmick, Nikki fought resiliently until the very end.

The match’s closing moments saw Flair attempt a Spear. Nikki A.S.H. moved out of The Queen’s way right in time, and the latter crashed against a table that was balanced on the turnbuckle. The champion capitalized on the turn of events and pinned Flair to pick up her first big victory since winning the title.

Nikki A.S.H. needed this victory ahead of her triple-threat title match against Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam 2021.

#2 Flop on WWE RAW: Riddle gets squashed

Riddle needs Randy Orton by his side on WWE RAW

This week on WWE RAW, Riddle faced Omos in a singles match. Throughout this encounter, the latter was dominant and showed no mercy towards the Red brand’s Original Bro.

Riddle did try to fight, but his brave intentions were of no match against Omos’ sheer size and brute strength. The latter threw the former all around the ring before pinning him for a win. Purely from a store-telling perspective, Riddle did great in making Omos look like a monster.

Perhaps the creative team is trying to garner more sympathy towards The Original Bro to fuel the hype surrounding Randy Orton’s return. The latter is expected to return on WWE RAW soon and even out things for RK-Bro against tag team champions AJ Styles and Omos.

Hopefully, Riddle will also get his opportunity to even things out against Omos before the two tag teams engage in a championship feud.
