#Raw

TLC IS 3 WEEKS FROM SATURDAY!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Sasha Banks vows to find who destroyed her VIP Room tonight.

On last week's episode of Raw, The Raw Women's Champion Sasha Banks was gifted a custom locker room by the WWE Management, but when The Boss wanted to show Toni Storm her amazing new VIP Room, all she found was a total mess! Sasha Banks forgot her title in the car so she went back to get it then show Storm what the room looks like, so Sasha tasked Toni Storm, her friend, to guard the room until she comes back. When The Boss came back, Toni Storm had already left the spot where she was supposed to stay. The surprise was when Sasha Banks opened the door to her VIP Room because all she found was the aftermath of an act of vandalism.

However, tonight, Sasha Banks promised to get revenge of whoever did the vandalism.
