#1 and #2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans

Both these Superstars can do better on WWE RAW

To put it plainly, this was the most boring match on WWE RAW tonight - something that you don't usually expect from Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans. Both Superstars lacked chemistry inside the ring to the point that it was almost tormenting to sit through this entire bout. As harsh as it may seem, this was not the only flaw in this match. We also saw Ric Flair make a return to the Red brand a week after the Legends Night because somehow, someone thinks it's a safe decision.

In case you didn't know, Lacey Evans started flirting with Ric Flair last week, which led to him betraying his daughter Charlotte Flair. The latter ended up losing that match and wanted to avenge her loss against Evans on WWE RAW tonight. She thought that her father was at home, but he actually had his eyes set in Evans. (It took a lot of willpower not to make a joke right here). Now, both Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair locked horns, and Ric Flair helped Evans in pinning her opponent, who by the way, is his daughter and is carrying his legacy in the promotion.

This match looked incredibly pointless, especially considering a storyline involving a rift between father and daughter and their eventual reconciliation. Instead, WWE RAW could have used this time to book a tag team match to help identify potential challengers. Or, they could have booked a singles match involving actual individual competitors who could use some screen time. The only reason why Lacey Evans appeared slightly better than Charlotte Flair is that she ended up winning the match.
