#2 Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair's absence was felt throughout the show

Can the rest of the ongoing storylines fill the void left behind by Becky Lynch's suspension?

Even if WWE tried to fill this week's RAW by introducing some names from NXT while also mixing up the format of the show from time-to-time, the episode itself felt like a drag during several segments.

One of the main reasons behind this situation can be attributed to the fact that we did not have a segment that covered the Becky-Charlotte-Ronda saga, which just so happens to be the feud that has gained the most traction so far.

Becky Lynch's suspension is a conflict that was introduced into the overall story for a particular reason. After all, you can't expect the most popular star in the company to breeze through the roadblocks pretty easily. Conflicts are necessary.

But in this particular case, has the conflict left a void that potentially affects other ongoing storylines in a negative way as well? Only the next few weeks will paint a clearer picture regarding this situation.
