It seemed as if the Raw Women’s Championship match was a bit rushed, but the four women did a nice job putting together a good title match.

Nia Jax naturally had a huge target on her back as the biggest threat, and she was taken down and out by all three other women with a triple powerbomb and a dogpile. She didn’t really get a chance to shine, but Nia at least was portrayed as a serious threat who could only be stopped by all three women.

Sasha Banks had a nice mini-match with Charlotte Flair, but she wasn’t the story Sunday night, so she bowed out next. The portion between Bayley and Charlotte felt a bit truncated, but it was otherwise OK, with Bayley overcoming Charlotte’s attacks to her knee to drop the Big Elbow for the win.

If this match had been given a few more minutes to breathe, it could have been really, really good, but as it was, it was perfectly acceptable.
