Shayna Baszler had her first match on RAW against Kairi Sane this week and despite the earnest efforts of both the Superstars, the match failed to get the desired reaction from the WWE Universe.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there was a lot of uncertainty regarding Vince McMahon's backstage reaction to the match.

Shayna Baszler didn't come off looking like a WrestleMania headliner and that concerns the WWE officials.

There was negativity and uncertainty regarding McMahon’s reaction to Baszler’s match with Kairi Sane on Raw not getting the desired reaction and Baszler not coming off like a WrestleMania headliner.

The Queen of Spades was previously announced for a match against Asuka on this week's RAW, however, the Japanese Superstar was removed from the match due to a wrist injury.

While Kairi Sane seemed to be an apt replacement, the match may have gone a little too long and the live audience wasn't invested in the in-ring action.

Becky Lynch being in the commentary booth didn't help either as the angle felt flat.

Despite the disconcerting opinion backstage, WWE is still going ahead with the Baszler vs. Lynch match for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36.
