WWE RAW: 4 Superstars who flopped and 2 who impressed – Randy Orton smacked with tomatoes, former champion loses in underwhelming title match, Eva Marie returns

#1 and #2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Naomi and Lana

Lana and Naomi lost their match against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler once again

This week’s WWE RAW witnessed Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler successfully defend their women’s tag team titles against Naomi and Lana. This championship bout barely lasted a couple of minutes, and it was underwhelming in every aspect. It was difficult to find the point of this match, even after watching it twice.

WWE RAW built up a feud between the two tag teams only for them to lock horns in a forgettable title match. Naomi started well, but Jax immediately drove her into the announce desk. Back inside the ring, Lana tried to fight against Shayna Baszler. However, Baszler instantly applied the Kirifuda Clutch, and Lana couldn’t help but tap out.

One wrong move ruined his entire WWE career - Watch Now!

While the result of this title match was pretty obvious right from the start, the viewers were hoping to see a better match. Lana and Naomi are now expected to go to the back of the line for the title shot. Meanwhile, Jax and Baszler will continue their feud with Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke on WWE RAW while also looking out for Tamina and Natalya on SmackDown.
