3 Botches you probably missed on Raw (November 19th, 2018)

The fall out from last night's Survivor Series event was the main talking point on Monday Night Raw as the brand celebrated the fact that they were able to achieve a clean sweep over their Tuesday night rivals.

It was obviously a long weekend for the WWE roster who only performed 24 hours earlier as part of Survivor Series, which could be why there were a number of botchy moments in their matches on Raw last night.

The build-up to TLC: Table's, Ladders and Chairs has officially begun, but whilst the match announcements for the show last night officially started, there were many more memorable moments from the Raw roster.


#3 The women aren't able to steal the show

Nia Jax will be fighting for the Raw Women's Championship at TLC when she takes on Ronda Rousey, but last night on Raw, Jax teamed with Tamina as they took on the team of Sasha Banks and Bayley, after she was the reason The Boss was eliminated at Survivor Series.

The match was full of botches from Tamina and Nia Jax as neither women looked to be selling anything. Snuka moved around the ring too slowly and many of their moves were so far away it could be seen that they weren't actually connecting.

Sasha Banks delivered a terrible Poetry in Motion and Nia Jax was shockingly able to botch her own finisher when she tried to punch Bayley in the face on the apron.

It wasn't a fantastic advert for the Women's Division or the fact that Jax could be the next Raw Women's Champion. It could be argued that Jax and Snuka are still finding their feet as a tag team, but this still doesn't bode well for the Women's Division moving forward.

#2 Ronda Rousey wasn't selling anything last night

Credit to Ronda Rousey, she was beaten by Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series and still opted to turn up to Raw battered and bruised in order to defend her Championship. Her challenger Mickie James was definitely not someone who should be overlooked, but it was clear that Rousey shouldn't have been in the ring last night.

Jax wasn't selling anything that James was delivering and despite Mickie being on top in the opening stages, she didn't even try to fight out of any of Rousey's Piper's Pit's before the armbar was locked in. The storyline of the match made very little sense since James wasn't even at Survivor Series last night and was still technically fresh, but Rousey was able to find a way to defeat her without a heel using any of her injuries to her advantage.

#1 Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan seemingly miscue

Ruby Riott took on Natalya this week on Monday Night Raw, just 24 hours after both women were kicked off the Survivor Series team because they were unable to co-exist. The match was a solid back and forth between the two women which saw Natalya find a way to neutralize all three members of The Riott Squad before she rolled up Riott for a much-deserved victory.

After the match, Natalya made her way up the ramp as The Riott Squad seemingly scorned in the ring and Riott then decided to inform Sarah Logan that she should hold her back, but Logan took a while to react and the entire spot looked cringy. Liv Morgan then also got involved and it was made to look as though Riott was trying to go after Nattie, despite sitting in the ring and already watching her leave for a few minutes prior.
