#1: Nia Jax impersonated Asuka's gimmick to cost her a match against Charlotte Flair
Trending
Asuka and Charlotte Flair stole the show in a Champion vs. Champion match on this week's episode of WWE RAW.
The two competitors gelled together perfectly, and such was expected to be the case when Asuka and Charlotte have faced each other in high-stakes situations several times before.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
The NXT Women's Champion has been on a promotional tour of sorts, and this week was no different as The Queen made sure to plug her Triple Threat title match against Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley at NXT's In Your House Pay-Per-View this Sunday.
Despite Asuka and Charlotte's impressive in-ring chemistry, there was no way WWE would let this one end in a clean finish. Nia Jax distracted the RAW Women's Champion by impersonating Asuka, and before you knew it, the match ended with a count-out in Charlotte's favor.
From a storyline-based perspective, this was a good decision that put Nia on a higher pedestal before their eventual title match at WWE Backlash.
But as someone who watches the entirety of Monday Night RAW, it becomes tiring to see how WWE keeps playing it safe from a booking standpoint every week.
