Raw viewers have been complaining about Naomi botching on Raw, but it wasn't her who botched. And

During the Inter-gender 6-person tag match, Natayla hurt her injured right leg. Moments later, Naomi put a spinning toe hold onto Natalya's left leg. This was not a botch as it was part of the script and part of a larger story line.

Viewers of last week's Raw saw Natalya legitimately hurt her left leg. At the end of the WWE Tag Team Championship match, Natalya climbed onto the apron and prevented Jimmy Uso from performing a superfly splash onto Tyson Kidd. Naomi then grabbed Natalya's leg and pulled her off the apron. Natalya wasn't able to position both her feet underneath herself and genuinely hurt her left foot when hitting the ground. She recovered after resting her leg for a few days, although WWE wrote the injury into story line.

On this week's Raw, Natayla alternated which leg was hurt. After dodging a shoulder block, Natayla sold the injury on her right leg. Then as she went to tag out, she started selling the left leg injury for the remainder of the match. The script was for Naomi to attack the un-injured leg ON PURPOSE. The idea is that Naomi still cares about her former friend didn't want to take advantage of Natalya's injury.

There was a minor botch in the Divas' Championship match. At one point, Paige went for a pin attempt after rolling Nikki onto her back. She accidentally stopped Nikki from putting one of her shoulders on the mat. The Referee still counted.
