After being granted a rematch against Flair tonight, it was clear from the start that Ripley was having a hard time staying up on one leg. Flair soon noticed that, and began taking advantage of the limited nature of Ripley by constantly trying to attack her opponent’s leg. To her credit, Ripley continued to stay in the fight, and even nearly came away with a win after hitting a massive Riptide on Flair for the near fall, but Flair was close enough to the ropes to get her legs up for the stoppage in counting.
After nearly losing, Flair had had enough, and quickly grabbed her title and rolled out of the ring, intending to cause a countout to retain her title. Ripley ran out of the ring to try and catch her, but Flair instead simply hit Ripley with her title, knocking her down and forcing the referee to end the match via disqualification, resulting in Flair keeping her title.

Despite the loss, Ripley wasn’t done, and she and Flair began brawling outside of the ring before Ripley ended things by hitting Flair with a Riptide and throwing her back into the ring. It was then that Nikki A.S.H. came running out, briefcase in hand, and promptly cashed in her Money in the Bank contract. Climbing to the top rope, A.S.H. waited until Flair got up before hitting a diving crossbody slam onto Flair for the win, and giving us a brand new WWE RAW Women’s Champion.
