3 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (12 January - Results & Review)

4. Organized Chaos

WWE designed the women’s tag team triple threat to function exactly as it did: as organized chaos programmed to elicit a reaction from the crowd.

The match was a series of spots thrown together with a couple of nice sequences and a few sloppy segments, all culminating in a flurry at the end with Liv Morgan nailing Oblivion on Kairi Sane for the win. All of it was immediately forgettable, with no lasting impact.

Even dismissing the cookie-cutter booking that led to this match, the wrestling itself was little more than moves strung together in the right order to get an already-energetic crowd to make noises. It wasn’t bad, and if you were in attendance, you likely would have made noises too, but it’s incredibly difficult to be invested in a contender’s match booked an hour earlier after a massive brawl. The stakes couldn’t feel lower.

Hopefully, this is the low point in the booking, but WWE is already short-circuiting what could have been weeks of Liv trash-talking Rhea by booking the Women's Tag Title match for next week’s Saturday Night’s Main Event. *sigh*
