I was thinking maybe move her to Smackdown, but we can't have EVERYBODY going there.

It's possible that she can recover, but she's going to need a reboot and probably some time off of television.
Unfortunately, she's the poster child for Vince's inability to book decent babyfaces.

She can. And I say that as someone who isn't a fan of hers.

I remember reading comments saying that Becky Lynch wasn't as good as the other Horsewomen because she only had OK matches with Alexa while Sasha and Charlotte main-evented a PPV inside Hell in a Cell. If memory serves me right, most of the Becky/Alexa feud was Alexa trying to bash Becky and trick her way to the title and people changed their tune on her, making Alexa look like a legit top star in the division. If anything, Alexa beating Bayley after bashing her and tricking her is consistent but the problem now lies in finding who can beat her for the title.
As far as Bayley goes, she's in big trouble since Raw has 3 female faces but Dana doesn't show up on Raw and the Sashaweight title was moved to 205 Live for now. With that said, if Bayley won, chances are that'd either rematch Alexa or feud with Nia for the title, matches that we've grown used to recently. Bayley looking like the world's most likable goober might be the result of a shallow division instead of outright being buried but Alexa being the closest thing to Trish Stratus this side of 2007 Candice Michelle doesn't help her case either.

Vince loves the idea that an "underdog" character can lose constantly and still be over.

I mean Sasha's a Three Time Champ in less than a year and Charlotte's what a Four Time Champ? I don't count title wins in this division, on RAW anyway, as a statement that your career is safe.
I don't know if its a career killing moment, it's more in that sense a "Look how much they've screwed her up in under a year" moment. And a lot of people on this board knew it would happen...
I never said her championship protects her. What I meant was that she had it early in her career, which at least means someone behind the scenes wanted her around. And while she isn't being used as well as we'd like, she's not being ignored like Alicia Fox has been most of her time here. And the original question was whether she could recover. And my answer is yes. She is not being wished well in her future endeavors tomorrow and none of you are going to stop caring about her the day after that. She still has a job with the company and there is plenty of time for her to get the right angle and the right storyline and be booked well. I mean I know she isn't gonna be fired, if anything Im fearing that she's gonna march right out there on Monday and completely no sell the fact she lost as clean as clean gets and ask for another title match, when it's completely unwarranted and by all accounts she has lost this feud.
She needs to step away, either completely or just to another feud entirely... before ever thinking about the title again after that display. Because her believability as champion has taken a severe tailspin if anything can be taken away from this

Lol you people watching wrestling are giant losers like Bayley. I bet you watched Monday night Raw on school nights while the jocks and cheerleaders got laid hung out at the mall. Also buy our Network pls. FTFY

Jinder Mahal is the WWE champion. That really does render all accusations of burials meaningless. Jinder Mahal is a shining beacon of hope for even the saddest of sacks.

Bayley and Aries jobbed badly on the same night with the same momentum, and it doesn't look good for either of them.

As I said in the Extreme Rules thread.
Bayley can still be salvaged. Tomorrow night she attacks Alexa, takes her backstage, starts beating her with the cane. They cut away from it, and go back every 20 minutes or so and Bayley is still beating her with the cane each time, just non stop. The show ends with Bayley still beating Alexa with a cane. The next week Bayley acts like it never happened, while everyone else on Raw is shocked and appalled at her.

My jaw dropped. Like...huh?
This is a case where it's giving WWE the benefit of the doubt to assume they intentionally buried Bayley and wanted her to look bad as a punishment for something. Otherwise, that means they thought tonight was effective storytelling which is just poppycock and makes them look like complete morons.

Can't believe they f***ed this up.. oh wait I can believe they f***ed this up.
I seriously thought of done right, she could have been the biggest star in the business. Nope, they just can't help themselves.
WWE need to take a trip to the cinema and watch Wonder Woman see how a strong female protagonist is done right.

I think she needs a heel turn and an advocate. The problem is, I don't know if she can pull off being a heel.
