9 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 8)

5. Unlikely Allies

If you€™re going to do the €œrivals who team up€ angle, the relationship between Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks is a good way to do it. They could best be described as an alliance of convenience. Banks freely admitted that she doesn€™t have a lot of friends in the locker room and needed help to counter the two-on-one attacks from Naomi and Tamina, her former Team BAD partners. She noted that she and Becky teamed together in NXT, acknowledging their history. But Sasha also refused to help Lynch out during her match, showing that they€™re not besties by any stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO1y5RoH0pI The same goes for Becky, who hesitated before going out to help Banks deal with Naomi. She then ate a thrust kick for the loss to Tamina, showing that this duo isn€™t entirely on the same page yet. Its€™s a good way to create a makeshift team that can implode at any minute, and it could help set up a triple threat for WrestleMania against Divas champ Charlotte.
