#8 Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks undoubtedly had the best showing from all the women involved in the 6-woman tag team match in the main event of Raw. She also arguably had the most memorable moment when she lept off the ring apron to the floor and onto Sonya Deville with double knees.
But it was the hot tag she got later on in the match which was able to clinch it for her team. She cleaned house and locked in a Bank Statement to score the “W.” It’s a good idea to let Sasha look strong heading into Elimination Chamber, especially if WWE finally decides to pull the trigger on her heel turn…

#7 Nia Jax
Out of the entire Raw women’s roster, Nia Jax was the one woman who made the biggest impact by going after Asuka and beating her up like a couple of eggs for an omelet. Jax even no-sold that initial flurry of kicks that Asuka tried to use to defend herself. And for the first time since the Empress of Tomorrow started on main, she took a strong and one-sided beating.
In fact, had I been booking this, I would have had Jax beat Asuka up even more savagely. It would have added extra stakes to the match while making Nia an even more credible opponent.
