For the past few weeks, we’ve seen Sasha Banks get her butt handed to her by Nia Jax. It was only natural that things would turn around at some point.

Monday, Banks got a modicum of retribution, attacking Nia with her crutch and breaking it over her larger adversary. Sasha then proceeded to leap off the apron and hit double knees on Jax while she was on the floor. It wasn’t a big beatdown, and the still-injured Sasha more or less retreated afterward while Nia recovered.

But it did make this rivalry a little less one-sided and showed that Banks – despite being a three-time Raw women’s champion – is going to have to be the plucky underdog in this fight.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
