Alexa’s Playground- Charlotte Flair as special guest: Alexa Bliss was in the ring to host her show and introduced Charlotte- as soon to be the former Raw Women’s Champion. As Charlotte grabbed the mic, she asked Alexa to come up with her tricks without wasting her precious time.
Charly's BACK!!!@AlexaBliss_WWE@MsCharlotteWWE#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/PDkImJ51p6
— WWE (@WWE) September 21, 2021
Alexa Bliss asked Charlotte if she has brought Charly with her. But before Charlotte could have replied, Alexa Bliss came up with Charly and everyone was chanting Charly’s name. Charlotte then addressed the weird side of Alexa Bliss and asked her to be the real deal, not this mind game playing Alexa Bliss.

She asked her to get back to her normal side as walking with a doll in her hand doesn’t suit a former Women’s Champion. Charlotte tried to get the real Alexa Bliss with her heavy and subtle comments, but Alexa’s demeanor didn’t change a bit.
"Without a title, who is @MsCharlotteWWE? I don't need to play mind games with you to expose your insecurities. They're stamped right on your forehead. You are just so TERRIFIED of the #WWERaw Women's Championship moving on without you."@AlexaBliss_WWE is NOT holding back… pic.twitter.com/Fma7z1tZsX
— WWE (@WWE) September 21, 2021
Alexa then started speaking and said that she doesn’t need to change because she knows herself and she knows what she is unlike her who don’t have her identity without the Raw Women’s Championship. After exchanging a few words, the two got involved in a brawl and Charlotte dismantled Charly.

Natalya worked on Nikki in the ring, and Tamina went to take out Rhea again but this time, Rhea got the better of her and placed a Rip Tide on the Apron. This distracted Natalya who was rolled up by Nikki to lose the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Shayna didn’t stop even after the match got over. She took Nia outside the ring and crushed her elbow into the steel stairs. She put an end to the annihilation by stomping on the elbow of Nia, who was begging Shayna for mercy. After going through the stomp. Nia screamed out of agony and pain, while the referees attended to her. Shayna walked off with a nonchalant regret on her face, as it seemed like she wasn’t really happy with what she did to Nia.
