WWE RAW - 5 surprises that could happen: Popular star to get a big title push, 'The Fiend' to return and attack top Champion? (January 25th, 2021)

#2. A surprising finish to the Charlotte Flair-Shayna Baszler match on RAW

Charlotte Flair takes on Shayna Baszler

This would normally be a marquee pay-per-view-level match, but we're getting it for free on RAW. One-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions Charlotte Flair takes on Shayna Baszler on RAW.

For Charlotte Flair, it's been a frustrating few weeks. Her focus was taken away when her father Ric Flair helped Lacey Evans defeat her, seemingly even starting a romantic partnership with his daughter's rival.

That didn't distract her on SmackDown, however, as she teamed up with Asuka to defeat The Riott Squad (thanks to a little unintentional assistance from Billie Kay). But back on RAW, it will be different.

Lacey Evans and presumably Ric Flair are expected to come out and stop her, but it would be a pleasant surprise if the two women were actually allowed to have a match with a clean finish. That normally shouldn't count as a surprise, but given the nature of how things play out on RAW, we've learned not to expect a clean finish in such scenarios.
