Awkward.

That'd be the right word to describe this week's Raw match between Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax. Both women are heels for a start, so the live crowd in Oklahoma City had a tough time caring. Perhaps oddly, the bout was also more engaging for viewers watching back home - pay close enough attention and you just might have noticed that these ladies had quite the communication breakdown.

Can you say...'Brawl For All'? This nearly was, and nobody seems to know why.

Other hidden gems from WWE's flagship include some weird scripting for Damian Priest, a fan doing his best to dazzle Xavier Woods before his match with AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre showing a quite stunning attention to detail (seriously, this was damn good), and one Raw female getting totally ignored by the cameras.

Also, WWE failed to come through on some big promises from last week, OKC still held out hopes that John Cena would make a surprise appearance, Rhea Ripley almost got knocked out twice, and an ex-NXT star got some love from the fans too.

Here's everything you might've missed from Raw...
