WrestleRant Radio - August 12, 2021: Nikki A.S.H. Interview + Full Breakdown of NXT’s Latest Releases! (ft. Jonn Ritland)

Raw Women's Champion Nikki A.S.H. joins Graham "GSM" Matthews at the start of this week's WrestleRant Radio to talk about her upcoming title defense at SummerSlam against Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley, why she's almost a superhero, inspirations for the character, connecting with the crowd, her wild last month in WWE, her stint in NXT, opponents she wants to face, and more!

In the second half of the show, Jonn Ritland returns to help GSM break down the latest round of releases from NXT! Who was the most shocking of the bunch, and where could we see each of them next? They discuss Ari Sterling's departure and the fact he was only just recently signed, when WWE put the final nail in the coffin of 205 Live, why letting go of Bronson Reed was so baffling and what he could contribute elsewhere, where Leon Ruff would be best suited, Tyler Rust, Jake Atlas, and the bigger issue with WWE firing Mercedes Martinez. Plus, hear their thoughts on the current state of the NWA among other topics!
