WWE SummerSlam 2021: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
3. WWE Raw Women's Title: Nikki A.S.H. (c) Vs. Rhea Ripley Vs. Charlotte Flair
Result: Charlotte makes Nikki tap to the Figure 8 to win the title (13:05).
Rating: This match had the most blatant, unveiled triple threat formula I've seen in a long time - one person rolls out of the ring for a nap while the other two fight.
It's boring, lazy, and suggests nobody really cared much about laying out a creative or interesting match. Still, the actual in-ring work was totally solid - much as she might be the ire of the IWC, Charlotte put on one hell of a performance.
She really didn't need the win, though, especially compared to who she was fighting, and WWE needs to understand that giving Charlotte a bunch of short-lived title reigns doesn't actually raise her prestige.
Nikki deserved better than having a chump title reign, as terrible as her gimmick is. Still, on pure wrestling merits this was pretty good. 6/10
