Nikki A.S.H. didn’t wait long to capitalize on her victory Sunday at Money within the Financial institution.
Charlotte Flair retained her Raw Ladies’s Championship on Monday evening after struggling a disqualification defeat to Rhea Ripley. Ripley attacked Flair after the match, though, and Nikki sensed a chance.

As an different, WWE may maybe peek the pay-per-scrutinize as a chance to raise every other member of the females’s division.
Nikki is a outdated tag team champion alongside Alexa Bliss, and he or she rode the early momentum Sanity loved when it debuted in NXT in October 2016. Success as a singles significant person has been quite of more elusive for the native of Glasgow, Scotland.
For heaps of followers, Money within the Financial institution likely represented validation for a Celeb who had the expertise however wasn’t supplied with the opportunity to shine.
Over the final few years, the females’s division lacked direction. Ronda Rousey hasn’t competed since WrestleMania 35 in 2019, and WWE looked as if it may maybe perchance probably well compensate by leaning more durable on the Four Horsewomen: Flair, Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks. Between August 2018 and this April, Asuka changed into potentially the most racy non-Horsewoman to withhold the SmackDown Ladies’s Championship, let’s articulate.
Nonetheless the landscape has changed for the better. Bianca Belair dethroned Banks for the SmackDown belt at WrestleMania 37, and Ripley had her “WrestleMania Moment” one evening later when she beat Asuka for the Raw gold.
Now, Nikki A.S.H. is poised to be a world champion for WWE’s 2nd-greatest checklist of the year.
