Best and worst of RAW (15 January, 2018)

Not the best of weeks for Curt Hawkins, for certain

#2 Worst: The burial of Sasha Banks

Banks was squashed by the Absolution member — Banks was completely squashed by the Absolution member

Sasha Banks took on Sonya Deville in a singles match this week. Everyone expected Banks to pick up an easy win. Except it was Deville who pulled off an upset. All it took was a kick to Banks' midsection.

Despite rumours that there is no heat on Sasha Banks for injuring Paige, we wonder if there is. There are other ways to pin The Boss and still make her look strong. The events on RAW seemed quite unnecessary.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

We'll know if Banks has heat or not based on whether she gets pinned by Mandy Rose next week. If she does, it's an unfortunate state of affairs because we're sure that Banks is carrying the guilt of injuring Paige with her, in any case.
