#4. Nikki A.S.H. - Time for WWE to acknowledge a failed character?

Although Nikki A.S.H. was popular in 2021, her Money in the Bank victory seemed to be a random decision by WWE. Given how it played out, it was clear that the company had no long-term plan for her championship run.

Liv Morgan seemed to be the sentimental favorite of the WWE Universe, and it would have been the perfect time to pull the trigger on her. However, the company seemed pleased with the reactions that Nikki A.S.H. was getting and decided to capitalize on her momentum by making her Ms. Money in the Bank 2021.

She would cash in only a night later on Charlotte Flair to become the RAW Women's Champion - a moment that was well-received as the final segment of the night. As we mentioned, there was no long-term plan for her whatsoever. Charlotte Flair and former RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley faced Nikki A.S.H. at SummerSlam, with Flair getting another women's title win - regaining it a month after she lost it.

Following that, Nikki A.S.H. would successfully team up with Rhea Ripley to win the Women's Tag Team titles, but there was no plan there either. She recently turned heel, which hopefully means the return of Nikki Cross and the end of the A.S.H. character.

Although she had some momentum with the character at first, it's clear that it hasn't worked out as hoped, and for the majority of the last five months, Nikki A.S.H. has been made to look bad.
