Losers: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

Billie Kay defeated Nikki Cross in a singles match in RAW last night. It wasn't a good match. Billie Kay isn't exactly good in the ring.

But moreover, it was yet another example of the company not being able to do title feuds without having the challengers beat the champions in non-title situations and then losing the match that actually counts. It's rote storytelling and it's where this feud is headed.

Though they are being featured, the Women's Tag Team Titles have slid back into irrelevancy since the Kabuki Warriors lost them. Can anyone say they're excited about this feud?


Winner: Nia Jax

I only use the term "winner" loosely. Nia Jax once again showed how dangerous she is in the ring (and not in a good way) during her match with Kairi Sane. She then looked strong by interrupting Asuka's match with Charlotte Flair. The green face paint in mockery of the champion was a nice touch.

She wins for now, but we know her fate at Backlash.

Truth be told, Jax's dangerous botch last night overshadowed everything else. It's a wonder why the company continues to allow her to compete without major changes to her style. This is far from the first time.
