#2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Dana Brooke

Mandy Rose returned this week to save Dana Brooke from Jax and Baszler

On this week’s episode of WWE RAW, we saw Dana Brooke go toe-to-toe with Shayna Baszler. Now, it was pretty apparent that one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions will dominate this match and Baszler did precisely what was expected. However, it was Brooke’s underwhelming performance tonight that didn't go well with the fans.

Dana Brooke was booked quite well on WWE RAW in the last few weeks, which actually made her look better than before. But tonight, all that build-up crumbled in front of Baszler who threw her around like a pinata. Towards the end, we saw the return of Mandy Rose who helped her friend out of the beatdown at the hands of Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

Understandably, the creative wanted Baszler to regain her momentum on WWE RAW, especially if you look at the losses she picked on the Red brand in the last few weeks. However, the champion would have looked more credible if her opponent was not booked in such a poor light. Hopefully, Dana Brooke will have an opportunity to revive herself on WWE RAW because its women’s division cannot afford to bury whatever competitors they have left.
