WWE Raw results, recap, grades: Nikki A.S.H. cashes in Money in the Bank Contract, Goldberg returns - CBSSports.com

Monday night's edition of WWE Raw was a night of surprises and odd decisions before the show closed with a successful Money in the Bank cash-in by Nikki A.S.H.

as she pinned Charlotte Flair to end the night as Raw women's champion.

Charlotte Flair was out for an in-ring promo to celebrate her Raw women's title win over Rhea Ripley at Money in the Bank.

Ripley came to the ring after Flair said she could beat her any night of the week.

Ripley then challenged Flair to prove it and face her in a championship rematch later in the night.

This eventually brought out Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville, with the duo making the match official for the main event, at which point Flair kicked Ripley in the same knee she'd injured the previous night.

Charlotte Flair (c) via disqualification. Midway through the match, Flair took Ripley to the outside, hitting a chop block to again impact Ripley's knee.

Ripley managed to fight back before locking in a figure-four to nearly score a submission before Flair was able to reverse the hold.

Ripley hit Riptide, but Flair managed to get her foot on the bottom rope to break the pin.

Ripley gave chase and Flair hit her with the title belt to force the disqualification, retaining her title in the process.

Charlotte Flair (c) via pinfall to win the championship. Ripley and Flair brawled outside the ring before Ripley hit Riptide and Nikki A.S.H.'s music hit for a Money in the Bank cash-in attempt.

WWE has established an odd pattern with the women's Money in the Bank.

Outside of Carmella, the first women's Money in the Bank holder, no other winner has hit the 48 hour mark before cashing in -- or, in the case of Asuka, being awarded the title.

Lashley and MVP came to the ring to say that Kofi Kingston was right that Lashley had lost his edge because of the women and champagne as he lived the good life as champion, but Lashley was now "back to business." Lee answered the open challenge and gave Lashley a bit of a run early before Lashley took over on the outside of the ring before he managed to get the win with the spear!

After the match, Goldberg's music hit and the 54-year-old made the walk to the ring.

Lee looked off in the match with Lashley, which could very well be ring rust.
