5 Ups And 6 Downs From WWE Raw 3:16 Day

2. ‘The Prey That Killed Its Predator’

Give Becky Lynch a mic and let her do what she does best, and you can pretty much bank on a good segment.

The Man delivered a much-needed solid promo Monday night, observing that her WrestleMania opponent Shayna Baszler is used to bullying people to get to the top, but that doesn’t work with the Raw Women’s Champion. Becky warned her challenger that she’s playing mindgames with her, then urged her to do something unusual: think.

All told, this was a pretty solid segment that continued to wipe away the disappointment of the women’s Elimination Chamber match by just focusing on Lynch selling the hell out of the match.
