Sure, there are some gripes about the booking of the women’s Survivor Series match, but WWE did a nice job of turning the page from the “unified Team Raw” to the next night in one fell swoop.

And that swoop came in the form of a Charlotte forearm and beatdown of Bayley, who had just pinned Becky Lynch to win their elimination match. The Raw Women’s Champion proceeded to demolish Bayley, assaulting her on the outside of the ring and throwing her into the barricade repeatedly.

It was a vicious attack that set the table for Bayley to chase her first one-on-one WWE title shot. Fans of Sasha Banks (including this writer) might grumble about her possibly being pushed aside for the time being, but at least this was nicely done, and we know it will make for a good feud.
