#1 Flopped on WWE RAW: Lana

Lana and the announce table have the most stable relationship in WWE today

Lana was put through the table on WWE RAW once again this week. Can she be blamed entirely for this? No. But does she look weak? Yes. Think of a friend, colleague, an ex-partner, or a family member who is always complaining about something or the other. You feel bad for them initially, and you want to show your support. But at some point, your sympathy for them turns into annoyance if the problem is dragged for way too long.

There’s a thin line between sympathy and annoyance with such repetitive segments, and currently, it appears that the creative are moon-walking over that really, really thin edge. Lana teamed up with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler to take on the team of Asuka, Mandy Rose, and Dana Brooke. But she was forced to tap out by the WWE RAW Women’s Champion.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Following the match, Nia Jax pretended to appreciate Lana, but she soon showed her true intentions by putting the latter through the table for the ninth consecutive week. At this point, the viewers are desperately hoping that the writers have a good redemption planned for Lana. Otherwise, this segment that has been a part of WWE RAW or two months now would account for absolutely nothing.
