4 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (3 July - Review)
3. Selling Out Your Entire Tag ‘Division’
If you want to put over #1 contenders for a tag title, having them win a tag team turmoil match by running the table is one way to do it.
But in having Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville run over four other tag teams Monday night, WWE buried former NXT tag champs, and a former NXT Women’s Champion making her Raw debut. It doesn’t help that this was Green & Deville’s first televised tag win in nearly three months.
The tag turmoil match was bad – bad in-ring action (save for a few eye-popping spots from Katana Chance & Kayden Carter), bad melodrama from Nikki Cross, bad layout – included two first-time teams, and played mainly to the sounds of silence.
This could have been booked a lot better, even if they just gave Carter & Chance a win at the beginning before being cheated out of the next pinfall by Green & Deville. That would have at least protected them a smidge.
