Three new matches have been confirmed for tonight’s episode of NXT.
WWE has added the following matches to the card for tonight’s NXT: Meiko Satomura vs. Roxanne Perez, Ricochet vs. Trick Williams, and Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. vs. Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne).
Satomura, Ricochet, and Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. are all coming off losses at NXT Worlds Collide.
Satomura was NXT UK Women’s Champion heading into Worlds Collide, but she lost her title in a triple threat match without being pinned. Mandy Rose pinned Blair Davenport to unify the NXT Women’s Championship with the NXT UK Women’s Championship.
WWE notes that “Satomura’s skills and reputation drew the attention of Roxanne Perez, who sought out the former champion to request a one-on-one showdown in the spirit of competition.”
Ricochet vs. Williams and Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. vs. Toxic Attraction were both set up by interference that took place in their matches at Worlds Collide. Williams interfered to help Carmelo Hayes retain the NXT North American Championship against Ricochet. Toxic Attraction interfered to cost Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. their chance at winning Katana Chance & Kayden Carter’s NXT Women’s Tag Team titles.
Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s show:
A second Elimination Chamber match has been added to this month’s pay-per-view.
WWE has announced that Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. will compete in an Elimination Chamber match at the Saturday, February 19 Elimination Chamber PPV. There’s also a silhouetted sixth participant included on the graphic for the match whose identity has yet to be revealed.
The winner of the Chamber match will challenge for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 38 this April. Becky Lynch currently holds the title and is defending it against Lita at the Elimination Chamber.
Morgan and Doudrop have both unsuccessfully challenged for Lynch’s title in recent weeks. Doudrop got her title shot at the Royal Rumble by defeating Morgan and Belair in a number one contender’s match. During that triple threat match, Lynch interfered to prevent Belair from winning.
This year’s Elimination Chamber PPV is taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Here’s the updated card for the show:
A new Raw Women’s Champion was crowned at SummerSlam on Saturday night.
Charlotte Flair defeated Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match to win the Raw Women’s Championship. With her win, WWE now recognizes Charlotte as a 12-time Women’s Champion on the main roster. She also had two Women’s Championship reigns in NXT.
Charlotte submitted Nikki A.S.H. with the Figure Eight to win the title. Ripley went to hit Riptide on Nikki leading into the finish, but Nikki countered it into a DDT. Nikki then went up to the top rope and tried to hit a crossbody on Charlotte. Charlotte avoided it, applied the Figure Four, and then bridged into the Figure Eight. Nikki tried to get to the ropes before tapping out.
Nikki A.S.H. was the winner of last month’s women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The next night, she cashed in on Charlotte to become Raw Women’s Champion. Charlotte had just won the title by defeating Ripley at Money in the Bank.

Nikki A.S.H. hit a top rope crossbody on Charlotte during the finishing sequence of the match, but Charlotte rolled through and pinned Nikki to get the win. Nikki then challenged Charlotte to a rematch next week, saying that she proved that she “almost could have won.” Nikki said she knows she can defeat Charlotte. Charlotte accepted the challenge and said she can defeat Nikki whenever she wants.
Charlotte then extended a handshake to Nikki A.S.H. When Nikki accepted, Charlotte struck her in the face and beat her down.
Next week’s Nikki A.S.H. vs. Charlotte match will also be non-title.

The Raw after Money in the Bank was an eventful night for WWE.
Live crowds returned to Raw and saw Nikki A.S.H. successfully cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase.

Charlotte’s title reign lasted only one day after winning the Raw Women’s Championship from Ripley at Money in the Bank.
Goldberg made his return, appearing on WWE television for the first time since losing to Drew McIntyre at January’s Royal Rumble. Goldberg confronted WWE Champion Bobby Lashley after Lashley defeated Keith Lee last night. Goldberg laughed at Lashley and declared that “I’m next.”
Last night’s Raw was the first time Lee has wrestled since February.
NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his Raw debut but lost to Jeff Hardy. Hardy, whose “No More Words” theme music made its return last night, had his feet on the ropes while pinning Kross. Kross was interviewed after the match and said Hardy just made the biggest mistake of his life. Kross said that — in the end — everyone will fall and pray.

Nikki A.S.H cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase tonight, pinning Charlotte Flair to win the Raw Women’s title.
The main event of Raw had Charlotte defending the title against Rhea Ripley in a rematch from Money in the Bank. The finish had Charlotte walking up the ramp, with Ripley chasing after her. Charlotte then attacked Ripley with the belt for the DQ. This brought out Nikki A.S.H., and as Charlotte re-entered the ring, was laid out by Ripley. Nikki then pinned Charlotte after a crossbody to win the title for the first time.
Charlotte only held the Raw Women’s title for slightly over one day, defeating Ripley after submitting her with the figure eight leg lock at Money in the Bank. She mentioned in a promo earlier on Raw that with her one Divas title reign, five Raw Women’s title wins, and five SmackDown Women’s title wins, she was now an eleven-time Women’s champion.
Nikki A.S.H. won the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match at the pay-per-view, defeating Tamina, Natalya, Zelina Vega, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, Asuka, and Naomi.
Nikki A.S.H. has won this year’s women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
The finish to the match, which opened the pay-per-view, had all eight competitors climb three different ladders in an effort to reach the briefcase. As everyone was struggling for control, Nikki emerged from the fray and grabbed the briefcase to win the match. She left the ring and posed with the briefcase on top of a ladder near the stage as the rest of the competitors looked upset.
The other participants in the match included Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Natalya, Tamina, Zelina Vega, and Liv Morgan.
On the June 21 episode of Raw, Nikki Cross introduced a new superhero-inspired gimmick and now goes under the name Nikki A.S.H., or Almost a Superhero, following wins over Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley. On last week’s Raw, she defeated Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Naomi in a fatal four-way match, building momentum towards tonight’s match.
