A 'sports entertainment' approach to WWE RAW might, unfortunately, mean that 50/50 bookings will be more common across the Red brand.

Nia Jax and Asuka faced each other at WWE Backlash for the RAW Women's Title. That match ended in a double count-out, which was probably a decision made to continue this feud.

Last night, Asuka and Nia Jax had a rematch to settle the score properly. But the ending to this match didn't put over Asuka in the best way possible.

Towards the end, Nia Jax lost her cool and pushed a referee. Before she could be disqualified, Asuka rolled up her rival for a very fast three count.

Clearly, this was not the most definitive victory for the RAW Women's Champion, which could mean that WWE has one more match planned between both of these women. There are only a number of ways Nia Jax's matches can go, so it wouldn't be the best idea to keep pitting those two against each other throughout Asuka's title reign.

After all, Asuka has been one of the most exciting characters we have seen on WWE RAW in a while, and it would be a shame if her momentum came to a halt at such an early stage of her title reign.
