On WWE Raw this week, two separate singles matches were put in place to see how the women would fair. Much to the chagrin of the champions, their bad luck continued. Nikki A.S.H. defeated Tamina and just moments later Ripley forced Natalya to tap out.

The Draft Returns

WWE Draft is back!
During WWE Raw, it was confirmed that in just three weeks the WWE Draft would be returning. Over the last few years, Monday Night Raw has been criticized for their questionable writing decisions and low ratings. While WWE Smackdown has been a mostly consistently solid show, it looks like the WWE is ready for a shake-up. The October 1 edition of WWE Smackdown and the October 4 edition of WWE Raw will be the home of the upcoming draft.

Charlotte Flair defends her title, gets a present
Charlotte Flair is enjoying her 14th reign as a Women’s Champion in the WWE but has many challengers. After defeating Nia Jax last week, Charlotte went one on one with Jax’s tag partner Shayna Baszler. Following a hard-fought battle, Baszler was distracted by her own tag team partner in Jax and ate a Charlotte boot for the 1-2-3. After the match, Alexa Bliss came to the ring and presented Charlotte with a present. The champion reluctantly accepted only to reveal that the present was a Lilly-like doll in the likeness of Charlotte named Charlie. Charlotte went on the attack but fell victim to a Canadian Destroyer by Bliss.

Priest takes down Hardy
Earlier in the week on social media, Damian Priest issued an open challenge for his United States Title. The man in the front of the line to accept was former champion, the Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy. In what might have been Jeff Hardy’s best match since the pandemic, the former champion gave it his all but fell short after being hit with the Reckoning. After the match, Sheamus hit the ring to beat down Hardy and Priest but ate a big boot to the outside.
