WWE RAW: 2 Superstars that flopped and 3 who impressed– Former Champion makes up for big mistake, potential spoiler for Hell In A Cell 2021? (June 14, 2021)

#1 Flopped on WWE RAW: Naomi

WWE RAW Superstar Naomi was subjected to an unfairly harsh booking on the show this week. The red brand originally advertised a match between Naomi and Eva Marie. The latter’s return was promoted religiously across all WWE brands but was as dissatisfying as it could get. Somehow, NXT UK Superstar Piper Niven replaced Marie in the match against Naomi last night.

Their in-ring battle was far from decent. Niven dropped her opponent every time she tried to go for an offense. She then went on to slam Naomi in the middle of the ring and followed up with a big senton. Niven executed the Michinoku Diver to pin Naomi within a couple of minutes.

It was disheartening to see the two-time women’s champion being subjected to such a loss on WWE RAW.

Surprisingly, it was announced that Eva Marie, and not Piper Niven, had won the match.

The turn of events left fans wondering about Marie’s possible role on WWE RAW. Will she eventually step inside the ring, or will Marie work as Niven’s manager? Is she planning to use the NXT UK Superstar as her muscle? The entire segment was extremely bizarre. Hopefully, the creative will have interesting answers to these queries.
