7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (May 16)

4. 24/7 Shenanigans, Catty Women

If Sasha Banks and Naomi actually walked out of WWE Monday night for good, then they’ve got two fewer women in the division. So maybe it’s a good idea to get Dana Brooke and Tamina… and now Carmella??? out of the 24/7 “division.”

We got to endure a backstage segment with R-Truth serving Akira Tozawa his divorce papers from Tamina, then getting thwarted when he tried to get his 24/7 title back from Dana. Brooke then almost literally ran into Carmella, who jawed with her and called Dana a “sorry excuse for a competitor and wife.” We then got some cattiness, with a veiled James Ellsworth reference and a shot at Corey Graves’ prowess in the bedroom.

Carmella later told Truth she’d help him get his title back when she could get revenge on Dana. So now you’ve got three women on a roster of 14 (on Raw) competing over a joke title. That’s just ridiculous. Put a bullet in the title and be done with it.
