WWE RAW: 3 segments that were confusing
RAW last week was hailed as the best episode of RAW in recent memory but the follow up wasn't strong enough. Moreover, being the go home episode for Fastlane, the episode didn't create much heat for the event.
This week's RAW featured the return of Becky Lynch from suspension, a tag team championship bout, and the highlight of the show, Shield reunion.
Two matches for Fastlane got confirmed this week, i.e. the Shield vs the trio of Corbin, Lashley, and McIntyre, and Charlotte vs Becky Lynch, with a stipulation that if Becky wins, she gets added to the RAW women's championship match at WrestleMania.
Multiple storylines were continued for Fastlane and HHH cut a passionate promo hyping up his match against Batista at Wrestlemania. Although, some segments didn't make much sense, given the storylines from the past. Here are 3 such segments from this week's RAW.
#3 Becky still had her contractual match for Wrestlemania
Last week, Ronda Rousey relinquished her championship on RAW which made Stephanie McMahon reinstate Becky Lynch and announce a match between Becky and Charlotte for the RAW Women's Championship. Everything was going well until the main event, where Becky was made to sign a Hold Harmless agreement, but she was still getting her title opportunity.
Things suddenly made a turn when Ronda Rousey stormed into the ring and asked Stephanie to return her title and in the process turned heel and attacked Becky Lynch.
The point to be taken is when Rousey reclaimed her title, Stephanie changed the stipulation of the match at Fastlane, and now, if Becky wins against Charlotte, then she gets added to the WrestleMania title match.
What is confusing from this segment is that Becky has to again earn her way into the championship match while, as is evident in the video below, she was only suspended for 60 days and there was no mention of her title opportunity being taken away. Charlotte was added just to fill the gap but now as the suspension is lifted, Becky still needs to earn her title shot which is baffling.
