Last week, Asuka should have annihilated Carmella to sell her as an imminent threat to Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship. Instead, they battled for way too long and Mella got way too much offense.

Monday night, Carmella battled Belair in a match where the Princess of Staten Island got too much offense again, but even worse, the Raw women’s champ got made to look like a fool several times. Bianca pulled Chelsea Green into the ring to attack her, turning her back on her opponent and nearly losing. Then she chased Chelsea around the ring, again turning her back on Carmella and getting rolled up for a 2 count before winning with a KOD.

Sure, Belair won and didn’t really break a sweat, but she looked unfocused and undisciplined, which isn’t how someone who has been champ for 11 months should look before the biggest match of her title reign.

Huge fail.
