Whether you agree or disagree with the outcome of Sunday’s Ironman match for the Raw Women’s Championship, it safe to say that many fans feel that it’s time for the feud between Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair to end.

So it was refreshing to see both women enter into new feuds Monday night, with Nia Jax asserting herself against an injured Sasha, while Charlotte tangled with Bayley. Sure, we can debate the wisdom of putting Banks in a program with Jax so quickly, or having Bayley defeat Charlotte yet again, but it was a good step to see new rivalries forming.

With the Royal Rumble six weeks away and WrestleMania more than three months in the distance, it’ll be interesting to see how things play out in the weeks to come. For right now, we’ll tentatively give this approval.
