WWE RAW: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – New title opportunity, rift between top champions (January 25, 2021)

#2 Flopped on WWE RAW - Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler deserves better on WWE RAW

Shayna Baszler’s recent booking on WWE RAW has been borderline criminal. One of the most dominant names in the women’s division constantly takes the punishment for petty mistakes. It might not seem like a big deal at the moment but Baszler is losing a lot of her credibility in the process. This is the one thing that the creative need to avoid at any cost.

This week on WWE RAW, Baszler featured in three consecutive matches and somehow, she came across as a weak contender in all of those. First, she locked horns with Charlotte Flair, and it looked like she was struggling against her opponent throughout their match. If not for interference from Nia Jax, Baszler could have easily been beaten after a forgetful exchange.

Following that, Baszler teamed up Jax and Lacey Evans to take on Charlotte Flair, Mandy Rose, and Dana Brooke on WWE RAW. This match ended abruptly after Baszler pushed Flair inside the ring but couldn’t get back inside the squared circle before the referee’s 10-count. As a result, Charlotte Flair’s team won via count-out.

Baszler, Jax, and Evans then demanded a rematch and it was far from an exciting in-ring encounter. Baszler’s only good moment was when she managed to break up a pinfall before Flair delivered a spear. In the end, her team ended up winning the match but the victory did little to nothing to show Baszler’s strength on WWE RAW.
