I could rant for awhile about how they've bungled her character so badly on Raw. The way she debuted with Mick anticlimactically introducing her was really bad, and it was also bad to immediately thrust her into the title scene when her character worked so well in NXT because she was having to prove she belonged and it was a longform payoff at the end. (The thinness of Raw's roster might have made that impossible, though.)
Her feud with Charlotte is getting back to what made her work to begin with, and I think she'll succeed because of her charisma and natural connection with fans. But as usual, it's mostly happening in spite of WWE's booking/writing.
