This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW had an extremely odd contest between RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax.
The duo appeared to be ‘shooting’ on each other during the match, with both throwing what looked like very real shots at each other.
PWInsider has now confirmed Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax were in fact shooting on each other during the match. The contest apparently went “awry” and it led to some legitimate moments of real slaps and punches being thrown by both.

Insider did however note that: ” By the end of the match, Jax and Flair were back on the same page and the finish went as originally booked. For those who have asked, we are told there was no issue backstage after the match between the two.”
It has not been confirmed if either woman will be reprimanded for the situation, but with Flair being such a major member of the roster and the Women’s Champion she likely will not have too heavy a hand dealt against her.
Nia Jax however has now had several instances of issues inside of the ring over the past couple of years. WWE however have not publicly made too much of the botches/injuries that have been caused whilst she has been in the ring, and that doesn’t appear to be the case here either.
Flair looks set to face Alexa Bliss at the WWE Extreme Rules 2021 PPV event in September for the RAW Women’s Championship.
