#4. The Women's Division:

Raw: Raw's Women's Division really stepped it up a notch for the red branded show. Bayley faced Dana Brooke and defeated her in a surprisingly entertaining match. Ronda Rousey's open challenge ended with her being triple teamed by the Riott Squad until the Bellas ran in to make the save. Finally, the Women's Tag Team match saw Nia Jax return, as she teamed with Ember Moon to face Alicia Fox and Mickie James.

SmackDown: SmackDown's Women's Division did not end up doing too badly for themselves, as Asuka defeated Billie Kay in a quick match, while Maryse, Lana and Zelina Vega were very involved in their non-wrestling roles. The main factor though? Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair main-evented Raw, as Becky called out Charlotte for perpetually stealing her moments. At the end of the night, Becky locked in the Disarmher on Charlotte which made for an excellent way for the Blue Branded Show to sign off for the night.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Which was better? Raw had a return in the form of Nia Jax, which saw them have a definite plus, but as far as their Title picture was concerned, there was no real progression. On the other side of things, Becky and Charlotte's feuds only seem to be getting hotter and hotter as time goes on. For the return of Nia Jax, Raw manages to draw this week with SmackDown Live.

Winner: Draw
