Everyone loves a great underdog story in WWE, just like Kofi Kingston’s WWE Championship win at WrestleMania a few years back. Similarly, former NXT superstar, Doudrop delivered the biggest upset of her career and advanced to the finals of the Queen’s Crown tournament on tonight’s WWE Raw.
Doudrop faced the relentless Shayna Baszler on tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
Before competing in the singles competition on the main roster, Doudrop was paired with Eva Marie and fought for the WWE Women’s Tag Team gold. However, it looks like the WWE is showing trust in her abilities and eventually, getting the push she deserves.
