And just like that, the Raw Women’s Championship picture grew by two. Mere hours after it was announced that Sasha Banks had invoked her rematch clause against Alexa Bliss for WWE No Mercy, Nia Jax (who dropped Bliss last week) and Emma (whose grassroots social media campaign is moving her toward the spotlight once again) got Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to sanction a tag match, pitting them against champion and challenger with a win-and-you’re-in stipulation attached for No Mercy.
Long story short, they won and they’re in. Emma insisted on shouldering the lion’s share of the match, tagging in on an unsuspecting Jax and eventually taking the brunt of Bliss & Banks’ offense before finally bringing Jax back into the fray. Nia showed no mercy (so to speak) on both her former ally and The Boss, eventually hitting Sasha with a leg drop. Emma seized the pin for herself thanks to yet another sneaky tag, but Nia quickly got payback, hitting Emma with a bone-jarring Samoan Drop after the bell. That one made a statement. The next could make her a champion.
