WWE Clash Of Champions 2016: 10 Things We Learned

The next time Monday Night Raw goes live on pay-per-view, it's likely that Kevin Owens will have to defend his WWE Universal Title inside Hell In A Cell. That titular match comes on October 30, meaning WWE have no less than five episodes of Raw to build towards the show.

It seems funny to be even thinking about the next big event for the brand, especially because Clash Of Champions only just happened. That's how quickly the product moves nowadays. For KO's challenger at Clash Of Champions, Triple H is imminent.

Stephanie McMahon was involved in the finish to the show's main event, indirectly causing Seth Rollins to lose his shot at becoming Universal Champion. That burning issue, along with a major title change, means there's a lot to glean from Clash Of Champions.

Contained here are ten things that could be learned from the pay-per-view, hinting at what's coming next on the red brand as things head towards Hell In A Cell...

It's only a matter of time before Nia Jax starts pushing her way into the Raw Women's Title scene. WWE's writing staff need not rush anything with the newcomer though, she's progressing at a nice pace. Programming her against Alicia Fox was a smart move, because it allowed Jax to gain a victory over someone established without the need for any title talk just yet.

Jax vs. Fox took place on the Clash Of Champions Kickoff show, and it ended up being the shortest match on the entire card. Clocking in just shy of the 5-minute mark, the female bout served the intended purpose. Namely, it kept Nia ticking along and showing off her unbeaten dominance on Monday Night Raw.

It'll be interesting to see what Raw's writers have in store next for Jax, because it'd seem a little lazy to regress back to squashing enhancement talent each week. Now, the most physically impressive woman on the brand needs something meaningful to sink her teeth into.

For now, she's racking up win after win. The Kickoff was successful in that respect.
