6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 14)

3. Uncomfortable To Watch

Mia Yim’s return match should have been a crisp, convincing win to portray her as equal to the dominant Rhea Ripley. After all, she’s being billed as the solution to the OC’s “Rhea problem.”

Instead, poor Mia was saddled with a very sluggish, out-of-sorts Tamina who looked like she was either lost, gassed or incredibly rusty from not having a Raw singles match since March. The result was a very poor match that saw Yim try to salvage something repeatedly, only to be rebuffed by Tamina.

Even the camerawork was working against Yim, as her Soul Food (now Eat Defeat) finisher was captured from a camera angle of Tamina’s back – not her face taking the blow.

We should be clear: None of this was Yim’s fault and should not be held against her at all. But it was not the return match she needed or deserved.
