It only took until the second Raw with crowds for commentators to speculate if Nikki ASH's confidence had been destroyed following a defeat to Charlotte Flair, because WWE apparently can't get out of their own f*cking way once in a while.

The former Nikki Cross' new character isn't for everybody, but it had worked enough to earn her a Money In The Bank win and shock cash-in the next night. With seven days to ruminate on those developments, the audience seemingly made their choice - they were all in too.

ASH got a thunderous response in her first appearance as Raw Women's Champion, tempered only by playing up to this stupid mark complex they give all their Superstars now about how great it is just to be there even if they're literally stood with the top prize slung over their shoulder. The aforementioned loss to Flair and promo that followed it wasn't encouraging, but the cheers of the children can't count for nothing yet - even if all of this comes to a crushing halt at SummerSlam.
