The June 23 episode of
WWE
RAW witnessed some of the most striking moments of all time as it featured top-tier talents in action, including the top star Asuka as a surprise entrant during the Queen of the Ring semi-final segment.
During the segment, Jade Cargill and Roxanne Perez locked horns, where the latter took control early, playing mind games and eventually targeting Cargill's left leg, severely compromising it to the point Jade is unable to properly battle.
However, Cargill fought back, slamming Perez down with Jaded to pick up the win and secure the spot in the finals.
Near the entrance ramp, Cargill celebrated the win as Asuka appeared and the two finalists faced off right near the Queen of the Ring crown, where she addressed her match at the Nights of Champion and cleared the doubt related to Damage CTRL.
