7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 9)

5. Female Heels Heel It Up

Wars of words have their place in backstage segments, but sometimes, you really want to see some simple physicality.

It looked like we were going to get some bad puns and poorly delivered dialogue as Charlotte stumbled over a remark to Sasha Banks while she was chatting with Bayley, but Nia Jax showed up to kick down the Boss, allowing Charlotte to take out Bayley. It was a quick, simple beatdown from the heels, but it was very effective.

Even better was Charlotte patting Nia on the back and Jax grabbing Flair and shoving her against a crate, clearly establishing that she wasn’t on the Queen’s side and that she has no allegiance to her. Again, simple and effective.
