WWE RAW: 5 Things WWE got right on the episode after Crown Jewel (November 4, 2019)

#1 The Man and The Queen of Spades face-to-face

During the previous episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Shayna Baszler emerge from nowhere to attack Sasha Banks and Bayley to send a message to the entire locker room and begin the invasion of the Blue Brand.

This week on RAW, Charly Caruso conducted a face-to-face promo between two of the most lethal women in the wrestling industry today. As RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler came face to face, sparks flew just like they did prior to last year’s Survivor Series.

While Lynch spoke highly of her accomplishments over the past 12 months, Baszler reminded her that she is not Ronda Rousey, and will be taking one of Lynch’s limbs along after her victory at Survivor Series.

A very long time. #ShaynaTwoTime #AllHailQoS https://t.co/6nu6KCQjaF

This was the best way for WWE to book a segment between these two women rather than taking it to the ring or wasting it with a post-match attack.

It was simple, yet effective, and built one of the biggest clashes we will see at the PPV. The only thing missing was Bayley, as it seemed like a one-on-one affair between the two women rather than a triple-threat match.

Who knows, maybe it was just a set-up for a future mega clash at WrestleMania 36?
