Either way she'll wind up as bathroom break material on a PPV. To be fair they book every non Shield,Cena male on the roster like piss break material as well.

Backstage sources say some fans like Roman Reigns, but some don't. Our secret sources indicate that some fans want Cena while others believe Cena Sucks...

If they couldn't book Sasha Banks of all people right, Bayley is DOA.

Bayley will be booked as a female Eugene and I will laugh.

Bayley will be booked as a female Eugene and I will laugh. Her persona starts out as a dead end gimmick with an obvious low ceiling, but her talent will allow her to surpass it. She's already done it once in NXT, going from being the childish comedy character who thinks megaheel Diva AJ is her best friend, to main eventing one of NXT's bigger shows. I'd actually compare her to John Cena's rapper gimmick in that regard.

Bayley seems impossible to f*** up.
I think she'll be a rare case like Daniel Bryan in that bad booking will help instead of hinder her.

There is no evidence to support that Bayley is anything but f***ed when she's on the main roster.
I'm really hedging my bets on NXT becoming a full on brand and they decide they need Bayley to be a lifer to get it off the ground in a big way. I know there's a chance that NXT can get too big for its own good but it's really the only hope for Bayley and others to be the stars they deserve to be.

Bayley won't make it. All it will take is Michael Cole or JBL saying "hey everyone, let's cheer for Bayley" and she's dead. Add that to the slow motion matches women are instructed to wrestle on RAW, and an inevitable dressing down from Steph and she's dead in the water.

If people stopped cheering for Bayley just Michael Cole started cheering for her, they were never real fans to begin with.

I think she'll do all right, and if I'm wrong, so be it. I'd rather be wrong knowing that I at least gave her and the company some chance of success and than be correct about her failure and be f***ing miserable the whole time. That's "Why do the f*** do you still even watch?" territory for me.

they might as well say Bayley will move up to the main roaster as an enhancement talent to help put over Eva Marie and Velvet sky to have both ready for their iron woman gauntlet match

It's just that WWE can drive all the enthusiasm out of their fans by getting the least cool people in the company to beat them over the head.

It's just that WWE can drive all the enthusiasm out of their fans by getting the least cool people in the company to beat them over the head. Bayley in NXT is a killer character. I point again to my example of her NXT match with Sasha, the little girl who was cheering her face off for Bayley and gave Sasha a death stare when she came down. There's a new demographic there WWE could cater to. But the main roster Divas are bitchy heels and bimbo faces with no real characters. Yeah, there's a plethora of talent, but the stories have no meat and even post-"revolution" there's not a lot of time devoted to them. Bayley could absolutely be the Diva Division's John Cena, but the current state won't allow that kind of gimmick to flourish, and I'd go so far to say as long as the Bellas are top of the pecking order, it never will.

Cole: Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you've never seen Bayley's entrance before, you're in for a treat. This girl loves to have fun! JBL: Look at the inflatable tube men, Maggle! HAHA, I love it! Byron: Raising the roof, John! Cole: What a joy this is to watch, guys! You know, I was talking to her earlier today, and she told me she calls her fans her 'Huggies'! Vince backstage: Hahahaha, diaper jokes!

She is much to ugly in the eyes of the average person.

The best thing I think they can do for Bayley is to NOT introduce her on the RAW after Mania, or the RAW after any major show, or on a show in a major "smart fan" city like NYC or Philly or Chicago. Yes, she'll come out to a huge pop and fans cheering for, raising everybodies expectations. Then the next week when they're in Peoria or something, she'll come out to crickets because all those fans know is that she was on RAW the week before. All those expectations will be dashed and she'll be dead in the water.
The best way to introduce her is to just have her show up on a random, regular RAW and have the fans slowly get introduced to her personality and act over the following weeks. You try to introduce her as something special there to save the Divas division and she will flop.
