WWE RAW had an underwhelming show planned for this week

#2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Mandy Rose

WWE RAW Superstar Mandy Rose is not having the best of runs on the Red brand. This week, she first interfered in a six-woman tag team match that also featured Nia Jax. Rose arrived with her tag team partner Dana Brooke, and they threw a bucket of water at Shayna Baszler. There are no points for guessing that Jax would come running and slip, once again. Despite the distraction, Nia Jax won the match for her team.

After the match, Rose’s former best friend and WWE official Sonya Deville confronted the duo for their prank. Deville had previously brought Charlotte Flair back from her suspension from WWE RAW. As punishment for Rose, Deville booked a match between her and The Queen. It was an underwhelming encounter that featured very few moments in which Rose looked dominant.

The match was unvaried in every sense, allowing Flair to pick up her routine victory. Rose had a couple of moments to shine, but the match still looked one-sided. The WWE RAW creative should have done a little more to establish Rose as a strong contender. She is feuding with the current Women’s Tag Team Champions, but her recent booking has repeatedly undermined her.

Hopefully, things will turn around soon, especially now that the women’s tag team division is in desperate need of credible challengers.
