WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for February 6

Bayley vs. Nia Jax

Result: Nia Jax defeated Bayley via pinfall

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

I wanted to award some bonus points to the commentary team for continuity, but thought better of it. They brought up that Bayley owns a victory over Nia Jax, but only the one a few weeks back on Raw. They completely forgot about NXT being a thing, and Bayley choking the life out of Nia in London. I guess Samoa Joe is the only Superstar who can choke someone out?

Anyway, Bayley beat Nia a few weeks back to become the number one contender to the Women’s Title. Nia doesn’t care, because Bayley got an assist from Sasha Banks in the process. Since Sasha should be a non-factor due to Jax completely wrecking her knee, this should be a one on one affair, in Nia’s mind.

The whole thing turns into a showcase of Nia’s power. The full nelson rag doll was in effect, albeit during the commercial break. And just before the commercial break, Nia launched Bayley headfirst into the middle turnbuckle at near Mach One speed.

With a championship match scheduled for next week, you knew Charlotte would make an appearance in this one. Personally, I was glad she came out when she did because Bayley should not be eagerly awaiting a countout victory. Like, has the Raw booking team ever actually seen NXT?

Karma comes back, though, and Charlotte gets involved to provide the distraction Nia needs to make the comeback. A wicked Samoan drop takes out the number one contender, and now there’s odds to overcome for next week.

Okay, I will give out some bonus points for this one: Nia Jax, for mocking the Bayley Buddies. Pure gold.
