Nikki A.S.H. surprised the entire WWE Universe by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract the night after winning it. Nikki cashed in her contract on Charlotte Flair to win the RAW Women’s Championship.

Last week, Nikki opened Monday Night RAW and thanked the WWE Universe. After she soaked in the fans' response, Flair and Rhea Ripley came out to interrupt her. Following their interaction, Adam Pearce announced that Nikki would defend her RAW Women’s title against the two women in a Triple Threat Match at WWE SummerSlam.

Later in the night, Flair defeated Nikki A.S.H. in a non-title match to make a statement. The two women will compete in a rematch on this week’s show.

WWE could look to award Nikki another loss on RAW to make her seem like an underdog. However, they must choose to bring in Rhea Ripley to spice up the rivalry instead. The Nightmare must cause interference during the match to allow Nikki to pick up a big victory.

The angle will help Ripley become a greater part of the storyline and fuel the rivalry between Flair and Ripley. It will also give Nikki a big victory before her first major title defense at SummerSlam.
