With Sasha Banks still selling her injuries from last week, it only made sense to have Nia Jax on screen doing what she does best: squashing jobbers.

Nia made short work of Scarlett, who made the mistake of wearing a T-shirt of Sasha’s, saying that the Boss inspired her to get into a ring. Was it a cheap way to get heat by using a jobber as an avatar? Sure, but it was effective. Jax even got to tell Scarlett to choose better role models before dropping a post-match leg drop on her.

Since Raw has a limited women’s roster, this was a perfect use of enhancement talent, and it keeps the issue between the two women on the burner simmering for when Banks returns to action.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. 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.
