#1. Worst: The Bianca Belair-Doudrop match on RAW

From what it seems, WWE is biding their time with Bianca Belair on RAW. They were aware that their first-round draft pick would be overstaying her welcome in the women's title picture, and her last defeat to Becky Lynch marked the end of her title contention for the time being.

When she had the opportunity to get back into RAW Women's title contention, it was thwarted by Doudrop, who was angry at not getting a spot in the women's Survivor Series team.

Belair's incredible comeback at Survivor Series and win for Team RAW proved that WWE was still serious about pushing her, but they couldn't have her constantly competing for the women's title as fans would be quick to turn on her.

The decision to turn Doudrop heel and have a non-title feud was a good idea, and the match was originally supposed to happen this week. It did, but the finish was anticlimactic as Doudrop got herself counted out and walked away. The tease of Bianca Belair hitting her with the KOD was a great one, and it's a big moment waiting to happen.

However, the finish seemed to be a lazy one, and it was one of the biggest lows of an otherwise great episode of the red brand.
