#2 Hit on WWE RAW: Doudrop makes a statement

The opening segment of this week’s WWE RAW saw Doudrop and Becky Lynch join forces to take on Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan in a tag team match. The self-proclaimed GOAT took it upon herself to paint a little picture for her next challenger.

Unfortunately for her, Doudrop came prepared. The new championship contender for Lynch’s title looked the strongest in a questionably weak opening segment.

All four superstars took turns to assert their dominance during the tag team match on WWE RAW. However, Belair and Morgan couldn’t keep their opponents at bay for too long. Lynch’s picturesque slam was impressive, but she couldn’t use it to seal her victory.

Just as the champion went for the pin, she was interrupted by her tag team partner, who forced her way into the match and pinned Liv Morgan to pick up a victory for her side.

Following that, Doudrop attacked Big Time Becks to make a strong statement ahead of their title match at Royal Rumble 2022. Considering that the RAW Women’s Champion had helped her next challenger win a title opportunity, it was important for Doudrop to come across as a legit threat during the build-up.
