Best and Worst of RAW- 31st December, 2018

#2 Worst: Wrong tag team match?

This was one more puzzling booking decision by WWE

Now, Vince McMahon announced that the Women's Tag Team titles would be launched last week. Sasha Banks and Bayley also cut a promo saying how much they were excited about the same. The two of them have really been the favourites to become the inaugural champions.

And yet, despite their promo, they were booked in a 6-woman tag team match. The match in itself was fine and full marks to Michael Cole for mentioning the teamwork between Sasha Banks and Bayley through the contest. But then, they put Ronda Rousey and Natalya in a tag team match.

Don't tell me that it was to promote Nia Jax and Tamina as they lost the match quite comprehensively. Sasha Banks and Bayley should have been in a tag team match against 2 members of the Riott Squad.
