What do you remember about the 30 August Raw? It's hard to pick out individual episodes, huh? Here's a clue: Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax beat the ever-loving sh*te out of one another live on air. Yep, during an otherwise-useless match, the pair's exchanges broke down and they started laying it in.

Twitter blew up immediately.

People wanted to know what beef Nia and Charlotte had with one another. All reports said there wasn't much there - this was miscommunication at its worst, and it was seemingly just a one-off disagreement that turned nasty. Still, Jax and Flair were throwing bombs in there for a spell.

The poor referee looked like he'd seen a ghost once he clocked that Nia and Charlotte were having a scuffle for real. Their messy lock-ups, hair pulling, rabbit punches and ticked-off expressions told the tale of two women who weren't having the most fun working with one another.

Seeing some shoot fighting on Raw in 2021 was startling.
