I’ll be damned.
Charlotte Flair won the Raw women’s championship from Rhea Ripley at Money in the Bank last night (July 18) in Fort Worth, then retained the title in a rematch in the main event of Monday Night Raw due to disqualification tonight (July 19) in Dallas. After, Ripley laid her out, angry at the way Flair caused said disqualification.
That opened the door for Nikki A.S.H. to hit the scene, Money in the Bank contract in hand. She went through with cashing in, and Raw closed with a new champion celebrating among the fans.

This continues the trend of a fast cash-in with women’s briefcase in the past couple years, and also marks the third time Flair has been cashed in on. This is certainly a major shake up to the Raw women’s division.
Good for Nikki Cross A.S.H.
