We're happy to see Nikki Cross back on RAW after being on the sidelines for so long. She didn't have any injury per se, but it seemed to be a case of WWE simply having no plans for her.

They do now, but it's a bit of an odd one. After boasting about "beating" Rhea Ripley last week, she asked to be the next in line for the RAW Women's Championship after Hell in a Cell.

Charlotte Flair mocked her and said that she could squash her in under a minute. This led to another two-minute bout where Nikki Cross purposely used stalling tactics to "win".

Nikki Cross is now in the mix, but there's no need for her to be. A non-title feud would be the best way to re-introduce her to RAW.

#2 Best: Elias ditching Jaxson Ryker

While there was speculation about a face turn for the RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos, WWE managed to find a clever way around it. In the Tag Team Title match on this week's show, Jaxson Ryker was abandoned by Elias towards the end as he looked to tag him in.

This allowed Omos to crush Ryker and AJ Styles to get the pin and also a bit of revenge from last week where the challenger pinned the Champion in a singles match.

Elias justified his decision to abandon Ryker by saying that he didn't want to be on the road with him, and this was the best decision that WWE could have made.
