Just got around to watching this... body language is a killer. :picard:

You could tell pre match that Bayley was not rocking with any of this at all. There's a moment before she does the little inflatable arm taunt she does in the ring where it looks like she's dejected at how her character has been assassinated over the course of this storyline and feud. Then she looked even moreso after the fans started booing.

I saw the same as well. She took a deep breathe and looked at the crowd but without her usual enthusiasm. After the match her pre match reactions made a lot more sense.

I'm not a fan of hers, but damn that's sad and depressing. :mjcry:

I wasn't shocked at all when Alexa got to sniff the championship faster than Naomi ever did. :mjpls:
Now Naomi might lose it to somebody that should be a jobber (Lana) in the MITB match.
Are you just assuming the worst or is that actually a story? The only reason Lana should even be put in the match is so she can do a spot where she falls off a ladder and hits her head and when she wakes up her fake accent is gone.

That's what separates good from great in wrestling.

1 - you can't tip your hat BEFORE the match (unless it's storyline). You can't show that you are dejected or sad or "not into it" because you aren't going over. If anything you key on that one kid with the "I'm a hugger" sign and you draw positively from them.

2 - If you are upset, you should go out and put your real life frustration into your character. Push for the match of the night. Try to pull and give your best performance. Shyt is scripted anyway. She has had her share of "amazing" moments in her one year plus of being on the main roster. I just got around to re-watching the match and if we can "tell" that she's out of it then she kinda failed as a performer.

I'm not a huge RR fan (or detractor :manny: it's all a TV show to me) but homie has been wrestling and dealing with boos and just lost his brother and has been putting on pretty good performances.

She should have chased until her crowning moment at Mania, they gave it away early and had no sense of direction since
Same with Sasha giving Bayley the belt on a random Raw doesn't do her any favors
Plus people who don't watch nxt which is a good portion of there fans haven't caught on to Bayley yet
There not emotionally invested in her or her character enough to me to care about her which is why
Her keeping the belt at Mania didn't have the same effect of if she finally won
Now she already won the chase is over
Bayley should of gotten a Naomi type of you deserve chant from the crowd

That superstar shakeup destroyed the Raw women's division. All the storylines they had like Sasha and Bayley got thrown out to make room for Alexa because somebody high in the company obviously has a boner for her. Alexa is alright but they forced her into the division and fukked over everybody else.

No reason Bayley who just had beaten Charlotte and ended her ppv streak should of lost the belt so fast especially to Alexa who was Naomi personal jobber just before leaving Smackdown.

They could have did Alexa vs Bayley we would of all hated it but they could of did some DQ/ cheating backfired spot for Bayley to win. Have the rematch at extreme rules in a no DQ/No holds barred type match where Bayley is like won't be able to cheat this time Alexa. Bayley wins

Have Sasha vs Bayley at Great Balls of Fire as face vs face but slowly tease Sasha heel turn.
Have Bayley win at Great Balls of Fire then after the match as Bayley is celebrating have her and Sasha embrace.

Have Sasha hold Bayley hand up and as Bayley thinks Sasha is leaving the ring as she continues to celebrate bang Sasha jump her ass

Sasha vs Bayley 3 in BK

I like both Alexa & Nia but a match between those two or even a 4way with Mickie & Dana at Great Balls of Fire does nothing for me.

Plus it's way to early to turn Nia face but I bet you when Alexa won and she had the championship celebration segment with all the women in the ring. The crowd popped for Nia & Alexa interaction. I bet you Vince was :noah::noah:when that happen. So let's get to Nia & Alexa ASAP
