Alexa Bliss, Andrade, and others react to Nikki A.S.H. winning the RAW Women's Championship

Nikki A.S.H. is the new RAW Women's Champion.

The first episode of WWE RAW with fans back ended with a surprise, as Nikki A.S.H. cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to become the RAW Women's Champion.

The superhero won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in the opener of last night's pay-per-view, sneaking her way up the ladder past the rest of the field. While some thought it would lead to the first failed women's cash-in, Nikki A.S.H. shocked the world and captured the title.

She did so after Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley main evented RAW in a rematch from their phenomenal contest from Money in the Bank. The match ended in a disqualification win for Ripley but as the two women brawled after the match, Nikki made her way out with her briefcase in hand.

She would cash it in on Flair, hit her with a crossbody, and pin her to become the new RAW Women's Champion. The former Nikki Cross celebrated in the crowd, making for a heartwarming moment.

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Nikki cross came up with this superhero gimmick and Vince fell in love with it and he gave her a mitb and a successful cash in.

Big props to Nikki for that.

How long will Nikki A.S.H. hold the RAW Women's Championship?

Nikki A.S.H's title win seems more of a moment of joy than the start of a long reign, particularly with some of the players in RAW's women's division. She will likely enter SummerSlam with the RAW Women's Championship, but her chances of keeping it beyond that point don't seem too good.

Charlotte Flair could win it back in five weeks, possibly in a triple threat also involving Rhea Ripley. It would be her 12th Women's Title - one step closer to her father, Ric Flair's record of 16 world titles. Regardless, Nikki has had an incredible 24 hours.

She won the title with a gimmick she pitched, endearing herself to the fans in the process. Nikki A.S.H. looks set to have a fun reign with the RAW Women's Championship, however long it lasts.
