7 mistakes WWE made on Raw this week (18 February 2019)

#2 Second Time's The Charm

Seen this before, and nothing has changed

The match that disappointed fans the most at the Elimination Chamber was the Raw Women's Championship match between Ruby Riott and Ronda Rousey, as Rousey destroyed Riott in a matter of minutes. And the question many fans have been asking is why WWE made a decision like that.

It was probably to paint Rousey as an unbeatable force in front of her Wrestlemania opponent Charlotte Flair, or maybe it was to save time, as the post-match beatdown by Becky Lynch basically took the run time this match should have had.

Anyhow, it now seemed WWE realized that Ronda destroying Ruby was a decision they needed to amend, and the creative team booked another Raw Women's Championship match between these two stars in the main event of Raw.

And while this was the match WWE should have booked last night, it did nothing for Rousey and Riott, as everyone knew that there was no way Rousey was going to lose her title to Roitt after beating her like a ragdoll at Elimination Chamber.

So the aim of this rematch should have been WWE trying to give The Roitt Squad some credibility after they all failed to pick up any victories at the event, but instead, we got what we expected from this match.

Rousey defeated Riott and then took out the rest of The Riott Squad, and that was a mistake, as there are a very few legitimate teams in the women's division and The Riott Squad may be the team that feels like the most genuine team in the entire division. The teams of Tamina and Nia Jax, Sasha Banks and Bayley, and Carmella and Naomi feel like they could split up any moment if WWE needed them to.

So by jobbing out The Riott Squad WWE creates a problem for themselves when they need a group of superstars like Riott, Logan and Morgan to step up, but with their credibility completely destroyed no one will even take them seriously.
