Nikki A.S.H. has a big match ahead at SummerSlam 2021. She cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to win the RAW Women’s Championship last month. Since then, she has faced both Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley on the Red brand.

Both former champions have pinned Nikki on RAW in the weeks leading up SummerSlam. Following a couple of underwhelming matches, the champion managed to portray a confident person, but she is still far away from the mark.

It is crucial for Nikki A.S.H. to retain the RAW Women’s Championship. Any other result will undermine both her and the MITB contract’s credibility. Her entire gimmick is based on the idea that she can take up unthinkable challenges and emerge victoriously. That plan will fall flat if she loses her big title match at SummerSlam.

Remember when Iron Man and co. ‘almost’ took off Thanos’ gloves? Then you must be familiar with the brutal reaction towards Starlord, whose momentary leap of judgment led to a grape lookalike Titan wiping off half the population. How did that feel? Would Batman and Superman look credible if they 'almost' beat Lex Luthor?

If WWE is adamant about using a gimmick that’s inspired by superheroes, they can’t have the character crumble into dust right when it matters the most. She deserves to retain the RAW Women’s Championship and extend her title reign at least until the next pay-per-view.
