, & win the match on ! LIV MORGAN HAS PINNED SONYA DEVILLE!, & win the match on ! It's not often that you see WWE building up non-title feuds for women. That is perhaps one of the biggest criticisms they have received despite having the strongest women's roster in all of pro wrestling. But on RAW this week, it seemed clear that there were three separate feuds that were built up. While the -Sonya Deville feud is done, they were still put against one another in the six-woman tag team main event. Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch vs. Asuka are the two other feuds. The only surprising aspect of this all is that none of these matches have been booked for WrestleMania Backlash. It wouldn't be surprising to see them add Lynch vs. Asuka to the card in the last minute. Morgan getting the pinfall win over Deville was a good choice and the perfect way to end RAW this week.
No US Title match for Ali!
RawThe team of and pick up the win over No US Title match for Ali! Raw Another surprise this week was getting pinned by The Miz - who he defeated last week. While this was a championship contender's handicap match that saw Theory and The A-Lister face Ali, it seemed as though WWE made the wrong decision. Ali should have won and gotten a United States Title shot. Or better yet, the company should have booked a triple threat match for the US title at WrestleMania Backlash also involving The Miz. Triple Threat and Fatal-Four-Way matches often go well, and it seems as though WWE is ignoring a major title feud over here.
"I WANT A DIVORCE." The 24/7 Championship storyline might be the worst thing on all of WWE television right now. It hasn't been good for a while, and ever since the focus shifted from to Dana Brooke and Reggie, it has all gone downhill. My colleague Riju Dasgupta said that even Game of Thrones season 8 was better, and we have to agree with that assessment. When Nikki A.S.H. defended the 24/7 title against Brooke, the question in our heads was "When did Nikki even win the title?" As it turns out, it happened in a forgettable backstage segment. This week, Dana Brooke won it back quickly and Reggie tried pinning her, forcing Brooke to go to the commentary table and announce publicly that she wanted a divorce. It felt like an overall waste of time, and the 24/7 title picture should be shifted back to revolving around R-Truth - the funniest superstar in WWE.

The match stipulated that if Styles won, Priest would be banned from ringside at WrestleMania Backlash when The Phenomenal One faces Edge again. The match is almost guaranteed to be better, and the stakes are high with Priest having lost to Styles and thus, the privilege of being at ringside for The Rated-R Superstar this weekend. With that said, Finn Balor coming in for the save and beginning an alliance with AJ Styles seems to be the best possible way they can utilize him.#1 Worst The 24 7 Title drama
