1. Women’s Four-Way Delivers Solid Opener

Despite there being little purpose to it, Ember Moon, Natalya, Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks had a fun, fast-paced match to open Raw.

The women let it all hang out with suicide dives to the floor, complex dueling pinning sequences and some fairly stiff shots. Each of the women got a chance to shine a little, with Moon diving to the floor and hitting her eye-popping Eclipse, Banks flying around the ring and nearly pulling off a submission win, Bliss punching everything in sight and trying to steak a victory, and Nattie gritting through a bum knee.

In the end, Natalya pulled off the win and actually got a pretty good reaction from the fans, which was indicative of the hard work the ladies put into their bout.

Kudos for that.
