The next and the main event segment of the night was Alexa’s playground with Alexa Bliss and Shayna Baszler. Alexa asked Shayna to apologize to Lilly. Shayna condemned Alexa for everything that happened till now. Shayna caught the doll in her hand and said she was sorry because Lilly was just a doll.
Alexa attacked Shayna and Shayna threw Alexa out of the ring. Shayna stepped on the doll. The lighting changed and it started to seem like a horror movie. Shayna escaped the arena and went backstage. She kept seeing the doll everywhere this week’s Monday Night RAW went off the air.
Overall, by the standard of WWE nowadays, this week’s show was better than the recent episodes. However, it did seem slow and boring at times. The main event segment was fun but we seriously hope they would have revealed The Identity of Lilly by now. We give the show 3 stars out of 5.
