#3 Flopped on WWE RAW: Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler deserves better on WWE RAW

A week ago, Shayna Baszler was on the different side of this list in the WWE RAW review. She looked like her old, dominant self that made us believe that she will again find herself involved in compelling storylines on WWE RAW. Unfortunately, that was not the case as was evident on what happened with her on tonight’s episode.

Baszler was scheduled to face Mandy Rose, but that didn’t happen because the latter was attacked right before the match. An irked Dana Brooke then made her way to the ring and challenged Baszler for a match while Rose stayed on the ringside. This WWE RAW match as short in length, and ended with Brooke pinning Baszler within minutes.

Although Baszler attacked Rose and held Brooke in a Coquina Clutch while she was being pinned, it wasn’t the best decision to have her crumble like that on WWE RAW. She is an extremely talented Superstar who can be a brutal champion – something that the Red brand could use right now. Instead, she is being booked in an extremely weak light that is not doing anyone any favors.
