#1 Worst: Reginald beating Shayna Baszler on RAW

Reginald faced Shayna Baszler on RAW, and it looked like it was going to be a display for The Queen of Spades to squash him. Instead, it took a complete U-Turn.

As has been the story with Shayna Baszler recently, she had victory in her hands, but it was snatched away from her after another shocking fire explosion that shot out of the ring posts.

It led to Reginald getting the fluke victory and later that night, he was invited to Alexa's playground. While Nia Jax warned him, he ignored her. As it turns out, it wasn't Alexa Bliss that he needed to be worried about.

Shayna Baszler invaded the Playground and assaulted Reginald before challenging Alexa Bliss to a match next week on RAW. She even called Lilly a stupid doll, adding fuel to the fire. But having Shayna Baszler lose to Reggie was one of the worst parts of RAW this week.


#1 Best: An incredible main event

Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston had an interference-free main event on RAW, thanks to the strict stipulation that Adam Pearce implemented. Had the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley or MVP interfered, they would have been slapped with a 90-day suspension without pay.

Bobby Lashley enjoyed backstage with all his women, while he got to see two men go to war to earn the right to face him at Hell in a Cell. It was a great contest dominated by Drew McIntyre, and an incredible finish and a clean victory helped cement that.

All in all, WWE made the right choice this week of the main event, and Kofi Kingston looked great even in defeat. Bobby Lashley vs Drew McIntyre is now official for Hell in a Cell 2021.
