Candice LeRae’s recent victory over Piper Niven on Monday Night RAW was marked by a surprise attack backstage, which overshadowed her in-ring success. Despite securing a win via a roll-up, thanks to a timely distraction from Nikki Cross, LeRae’s triumph was short-lived. As she was being interviewed by Byron Saxton, Niven suddenly appeared and launched a vicious assault, slamming LeRae against a wall and grabbing her hair. According to eyewitnesses, the attack was motivated by a message Niven wanted to deliver to Nikki Cross, LeRae’s ally who had accompanied her to the ring. The incident raises questions about how Cross will respond to Niven’s message next week on WWE RAW.
The sudden aggression displayed by Niven is a stark contrast to her persona during the match, where she seemed to be engaged in a competitive and sportsmanlike contest alongside LeRae. However, it appears that LeRae has become the focus of Niven’s wrath, and it will be interesting to see how Cross reacts to the post-match assault. The incident highlights the intricate dynamics between the three women, each with their own motivations and allegiances. LeRae’s reliance on Cross for support and distraction may suggest that she lacks confidence in her own abilities, while Niven’s decision to attack LeRae instead of Cross implies that she sees the Poison Pixie as a more vulnerable target.

As the story continues to unfold, it will be intriguing to see how LeRae responds to Niven’s attack and whether Cross becomes involved in the feud. One thing is certain, however, that LeRae’s post-match celebration has turned into a backstage brawl, and the Poison Pixie will need to be on her guard to avoid further retaliation from Niven. With the tension between the three women far from resolved, it will be a thrilling ride to see how their rivalry plays out.
