Things you missed from RAW: 4 Feb. 2019

Dana Brooke vs Natalya next week?

Even before they lost the Women’s tag team championship qualifiers match against the Riott Squad members, Dana and Natalya were not best of friends. But after their loss, Natalya showed utter contempt towards Dana when she came to Nattie to apologize for the loss. This week again Dana came to Nattie to apologize but she didn’t turn towards Dana and not even reacted to anything she said, which prompted Dana to challenge Nattie for a match next week. The twist in the tale is that Nattie was listening to ear pods and was not even aware that Dana was in the room.

When to follow rules and when not to?

When does a referee invoke a rule and when they should not? On this week’s episode, the Braun Strowman/Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin/Drew McIntyre match was disqualified since Braun Strowman was not the legal man with the tag and he attacked his opponents. By that logic, all the pin and submission breaks by tag team partners, attacks at the ring side and other means should be enough to disqualify a match but it is never done like that.
Again in the match between Lio Rush and Finn Balor, Lashley actually tripped Balor. But here, instead of calling for a DQ, referee sent Lashley to backstage. Its ok that WWE wanted some matches to end in DQ and for some not to, but then again they should have found another way to do it rather than constantly play with rules.
