20 Reasons Why Last Night's WWE Raw Was An Absolute Mess

3. This Feud Is A Bad Feud

How hasn’t WWE been able to heat up Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler yet?

This should’ve been the easiest thing in the world. The duo have never wrestled one-on-one. They had a couple of great face-to-faces heading into Survivor Series where Baszler walked out the victor, technically getting one over on ‘The Man’ even though Bayley took the Triple Threat fall. That’s easy material.

On top of this, it’s something that could easily be put over as a “dream match” by the term’s definition. Shayna was NXT’s undisputed ruler for a long, long time, while Becky has been Raw’s doyen since WrestleMania 35. It should write itself.

Here we are, though. The feud we all know we’re getting for WrestleMania 36 is colder than Arctic seawater. WWE has time to heat it up between Elimination Chamber and ‘The Grandest Stage,’ of course, but how can we trust them to do so?
