Grade: B
This is most likely the end of this feud, but if you ask this writer (you didn’t, but I’m going to tell you anyway) it shouldn’t be. This match was brutal. Monroe has shown her willingness to go hardcore, and she is quite good at it. More please. Put these two in a dog kennel from hell match, you cowards!

WInner: Zaria
Grade: B
Blood feuds make for the best matches. Ruca had no chance of winning this one, with her making her debut on Raw this past week. Also, Zaria needed this win BADLY. So good on them for letting Ruca go out on her shield, as it should be.
