It still remains to be seen whether WWE can deliver a good, lasting storyline with Absolution as a dominant force in the Raw women’s division, but so far, at least they’re doing something correct by having the trio continue to triumph.

Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville defeated Bayley, Sasha Banks and Mickie James in a six-woman tag match, controlling much of the bout and trading off between the three villainesses. Deville and Rose in particular handled a good portion of the match and did a decent job.

No one should be expecting them to be the female version of the Shield, but if you’re looking for a positive takeaway from Monday, it’s that the newcomers held their own.
