7 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 8)

2. Women Be Catty

Sorry for the title, but that seems to be how WWE views its women’s division. How else would you describe the locker room scene with the Raw women’s team as they argued with Doudrop, Dana Brooke and Nikki ASH?

The three women left off the team squabbled and made lacklustre cases about why they should be included on Team Raw, with Doudrop saying she DM’d Sonya Deville that Bianca Belair didn’t deserve a shot – which made no sense whatsoever. Dana claimed she has paid her dues – losing every match – and deserves respect. And Nikki actually pointed out that she’s been champion, which wasn’t a terrible point.

But of course, it all broke down into arguing, with Rhea standing up for Nikki against teammate Carmella. (Can they co-exist?) It’s just squabbling for the sake of squabbling. And no one cares.
