WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for August 21

Nia Jax vs. Emma

Result: Nia Jax defeated Emma via pinfall

Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars

I think the “Emma is deluded out of her mind” story has potential. Don’t get me wrong, she ain’t beating Nia Jax. But I love the fact that she just openly ignores legitimate facts and says whatever pops into her skull. She’s got a political future ahead of her, I’m sure.

But anyway, her mouth gets her into some trouble with Nia Jax, which leads to this match. Quick, if I told you Emma was facing Nia on Raw, what do you think the match would look like?

If you said anything other than “Emma gets squashed like she’s an enhancement talent,” please try again. It’s a real shame this is what she’s devolved into, because anyone who watched NXT in the early days of the WWE Network knows what she can do. But anyone who’s only seen her as Santino’s girlfriend with a pink snake may think this is perfectly appropriate.

One can’t help but wonder if this is punishment for the Emmalina fiasco. All those weeks of promos about the makeover of Emma, and officials found out the legit wrestler didn’t know how to be a vapid model. It’s not like Vince McMahon hasn’t been vindictive in the past or anything, just ask Titus O’Neil. Or Baron Corbin. Or literally anyone who’s passed through WWE at some point.
