WWE Clash Of Champions 2016: 10 Things WWE Got Right

10. Keeping Alicia Fox Vs. Nia Jax Short And Sweet

Of the one-hour Kickoff show preceding Clash Of Champions, only around 5 minutes were dedicated to actual in-ring action. Generally, the length WWE afford to the pre-show bout varies, but the company got it spot on with this one. Nia Jax vs. Alicia Fox really didn't need to drag on, it was always better suited to being a glorified squash.

As the babyface who was up against a monster heel, Fox was permitted to show some spirit and fire during the brief encounter. Again, this was a shrewd move, someone with the longevity of Alicia should always be getting a few licks in regardless of her opponent.

The prevailing message coming out of the match was that Jax had taken another step towards female dominance on Monday Night Raw. She took the best that Alicia Fox could throw at her, and eventually managed to swat it off like she was dealing with a common household fly.

At just 5 minutes, there was enough story on offer to keep the match interesting, but the short length was absolutely the right decision.
