On RAW, Lacey Evans interrupted Natalya who had been trying to get a championship match against Becky Lynch, announcing pre-match that she had been officially drafted to the red brand.

Furthermore, The Sassy Southern Belle also wrestled in what's a pleasant change. The Lady of WWE fought and beat Natalya to become the first challenger to The Man’s RAW Women’s Championship.

Though there was nothing overly wrong with the whole segment or match, the entire ordeal felt underwhelming. The match was rather pedestrian as well and did nothing to establish Evans as a deserving title-contender.

Instead, we feel that WWE could have actually gone forward with Natalya challenging Lynch. Even though it would have been anticlimactic considering recent events. Perhaps, WWE could have made this a triple-threat match.

While Evans has the potential to be a star in WWE, we haven't seen enough from her, other than some nasty punches and a finisher that makes Corey Graves go crazy, to think of her as a great opponent for Lynch. It’d have been better for WWE to let Evans prove herself in the ring before challenging Lynch for the title.

Instead, this decision seemed rather sudden and underwhelming.
