Fans have voiced their frustration after WWE’s latest episode of Monday Night RAW featured almost no highlight for the ladies’s division.
The July 20 edition of RAW, held at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan, packed the show with several matches and storyline developments. The night kicked off with Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee taking over Austin Theory and Bron Breakker of The Vision. Logan Paul, who’s currently sidelined with an injury, was also involved, as was Theory’s on-screen partner, Maxxine Dupri.
While several women appeared throughout the printed, none got an in-ring match or a dedicated televised segment. Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan was featured alongside Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh during their attack on Danhausen. Later within the night, Morgan accompanied Mysterio to ringside for his match against Joe Hendry, before Iyo Sky got here out with Danhausen to confront her SummerSlam rival.
Elsewhere, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez discussed their ongoing issues with Danhausen and Rodriguez’s upcoming Women’s Intercontinental Championship match against Sol Ruca. Ruca also shared a temporary interaction with Lyra Valkyria. Nonetheless, each of those moments aired through the business break relatively than on the principal broadcast.
Consequently, the July 20 episode of RAW didn’t feature a single women’s match or an on-air women’s segment, drawing criticism from viewers.
Following the printed, many fans took to social media to precise their disappointment over the absence of meaningful television time for the ladies’s division. Several described the episode as underwhelming overall, while others specifically criticized WWE’s creative direction and questioned Triple H’s handling of the ladies’s roster, arguing that the division deserved a much larger presence on the three-hour show. The show also went off the air at 10:15 EST, much sooner than usual.
