WWE RAW also gave us some other good matches that either ended a storyline or helped put over home talent. We witnessed Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. lock horns in a singles match early in the show. The two former tag team champions split up earlier this month, and things quickly turned bitter due to Nikki’s actions.

Both superstars were equally good and acted as per their current gimmicks. The match needed to establish Ripley as a babyface and her opponent as a heel which was well done by the writers.

The Nightmare eventually defeated Nikki A.S.H. to seemingly end their storyline. Both superstars should now move ahead in the singles competition on the red brand.

Another good contest on WWE RAW saw Angelo Dawkins compete against Dolph Ziggler in a good singles bout. Dawkins was competing in his hometown and had the crowd cheering for him on top of their lungs. Ziggler also deserves a lot of credit for doing everything he could to make his opponent look indestructible inside the squared circle.

With Montez Ford as his perfect hype man at ringside, Angelo Dawkins made most of the opportunity by putting up an excellent performance. Although he had a short amount of time in the spotlight, the Street Profits member did well in showcasing his in-ring prowess.

We hope to see everyone involved in this segment back to actively competing in the tag team division.
