Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley had a heated exchange backstage on WWE RAW. Nikki Cross showed up and challenged one of the two superstars to a match. The Queen refused to fight Cross, but Ripley accepted the challenge.

A Beat the Clock challenge took place between the two RAW Superstars soon after. Cross tried to take control of the match early, but she was no match for Ripley’s strength. The Nightmare took her down with a dropkick before unloading on her challenger.

While Ripley had the upper hand in the match, the clock counted down before Ripley realized she had to defeat Cross in the set time. This allowed Cross to pick up a big victory on RAW.

The was Cross’s first match on RAW since February. The superstar has a lot of talent, but WWE creative hasn’t been able to use her effectively since he split from Alexa Bliss.

This victory could help her get more screentime in the weeks to come. Cross is a superstar who needs to stay on television and build a storyline of her own.
