Raiders' Antonio Pierce was at the Aces' home opener hopefully trying to take a few pointers during ring night

If you're a fan of women's professional sports, you're likely aware of the Las Vegas Aces' unparalleled dominance in recent years. They've clinched back-to-back championships and boast the WNBA's top player, A'ja Wilson. It's worth noting that the Aces share ownership with the Las Vegas Raiders, adding to the city's sporting prowess.

On Tuesday night, the Aces opened up the 2024 season at home. They also got their new championship rings and raised their second banner. The rings are definitely something to behold, as they are as big, if not bigger, than some of the recent NFL rings.

Some familiar faces of the Raiders were there in attendance, too, such as head coach Antonio Pierce and Christian Wilkins. At least, those were the two who made it known.

With Pierce, you could say that he was there to learn a bit from a franchise that has already had so much success. When you rank the Las Vegas sports teams based on success, the Aces are first ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights and then the Raiders.

So, it's clear they are doing something right and that Mark Davis is doing something right with them. While I'm obviously joking, I'm also being serious. The Raiders have not had the success they have needed in quite some time when you think about the franchise's history.

If anyone can return them to their old ways, it's Pierce.
