The latest episode of WWE RAW was a highly discussed show. While there were some notable moments, the show also suffered from inconsistent booking and a botch in the six-woman tag team match that stuck out like a sore thumb.
The opening segment of RAW featured WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Goldberg having a face-off before their clash at Royal Rumble 2021. Instead of engaging in any physical interaction against each other, they were booked to align and take down The Miz and John Morrison.
Next up was Charlotte Flair vs. Shayna Baszler, but the match was soon turned into a six-woman tag team match with Flair, Dana Brooke, and Mandy Rose teaming up to take on Baszler, Nia Jax, and Lacey Evans. Jax botched a chokeslam maneuver on Brooke. An unsatisfactory count-out finish forced WWE official Adam Pearce to restart the match, with the heel trio coming up victorious.
