WWE Day 1 2022: 10 Things That Must Happen

8. Nikki A.S.H Loses Her SAnitY

On Raw, Nikki A.S.H teased that she and Rhea Ripley will team up once again to challenge Carmella and Queen Zelina for the Women's Tag Titles. WWE hasn't made that official at time of writing, but it's bound to happen (probably on the Kickoff). If/when it does, the heels have to retain their gold.

Nikki's superhero gimmick has run its course as well. It's really time for her to do something different; at Day 1, she should blame Rhea for the defeat, tear off her "cunning disguise" and attack Ripley post-match. A.S.H can even show some old SAnitY vibes if she so wishes. That sounds way better than what she's been doing.

A snarling Cross vs. Rhea holds more interest with this fan than trying to run with A.S.H as a tweener or (worse) proceed with casting her as a sympathetic do-gooder who constantly fudges everything up for Ripley. They were always going to be a short-lived double act anyway.

Lost SAnitY = the way to go.
