I don't think it works that way. In term of storytelling, you generally have to show to the viewers events that advance the story. Unless it's SOL parts or something.
Clearly both this fight and pretty much all the skipped stuffs in NT8 were just small encounters that some characters used to buy time and nothing more.
Moreover, it has already been demonstrated in previous chapters that neither Touma or Gunha have what it takes to stop RaijinKoto. You see, all of their skills were already shown to us and none of them lead to a conclusive result ; and it was confirmed that the best they could do is slow her down. And there is no reason anymore to beat the dead horse by wasting precious pages just to show them using the same techniques over and over again even if it doesn't lead anywhere. Hence why they are sidelined.

tldr version : They already showed to us the best they could do, moreover they aren't the main focus, and you shouldn't waste your time showing unresolved fights who have no decisive impact on the plot.
