#6 Raw Women's Title match - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lacey Evans

Even though this is a title rematch from MITB, there haven't been many new aspects added to it. Prior to the build to their first match, the main sticking point for the feud was that Lynch wasn't a lady and not deserving to represent the women of WWE.

After a lackluster match between the two ladies at MITB, Lynch apparently wasn't done with Evans due to the Southern Sassy Belle costing Lynch her SmackDown Women's Title. Nikki Cross also joined RAW during that time, but the division is still lacking viable challengers for Lynch.

Because of that, WWE is running this rematch but under the same build as their prior match. Lynch has maintained her bashing of Evans in the middle of the ring while the Southern Sassy Belle continues to dispel The Man's worthiness to represent women as RAW's champion.

Despite the multi-month build to the feud, due to no new wrinkles being added to it, the build has basically been the same as it was for MITB. I think it might have been better to have Lynch retain both titles at MITB only to lose her blue one at Stomping Grounds.

Some of her luster from being a dual champ wore off simply by not defending each title at least once. Having Bayley cash in at Stomping Grounds would have at least made the PPV more memorable for the anticipation of Bayley's cash in.

Had she done double duty at both MITB and Stomping Grounds, then it would have helped her keep some of her mystique. But they had to have a five-minute ninth title reign for Charlotte Flair, so here we are.
