This Bayley / Sasha story sure is riveting, huh?

[Deleted]

So after months of them bickering and fighting while the commentators scream about how they're supposed to be friends only to be constantly distracted from it by being attacked by Absolution, tonight they had a bad match while the commentators screamed about how they're supposed to be friends that they were distracted from by being attacked by the Riott Squad. Progress!

Also why was Bayley wearing a bib?

This is becoming one of my most hated "feuds" in a while. It's been total trash.

That said, Baybey needs to be a thing.

These matches are always a good piss break. These two act like rejects from a Nickelodeon teen drama from the 1990’s with their awful mic skills and their matches...I don’t need to say any more.

[chazraps]

I've liked it. Bayley has her edge back and seems credible for the first time since the awful Alexa feud.

Teasing which one of them going to turn has made for a more compelling watch than one going overt heel.

I liked the match tonight. Bayley's early slip was covered well by the commentary team and the slow build of calming their intense emotion into an intense match ultimately exploding into a great brawling sequence before the Riot Squad jumped in.

Yeah, this. Though that might be a slight towards Nick shows.

I’ve always wondered what’s going on with you guys and your bladders that you can’t pee during one of the 900 commercials during Raw, but instead always save it for a women’s match.

TeamBayley, fullstop.

Though, Sasha's less obnoxious when they at least lean into it and stop pretending her character has an altruistic bone in their body.

whoa whoa whoa.

I save mine up for Jinder matches, thanks

I wouldn't mind it in a vacuum, but this start-stop shit has been running for a damn year and it doesn't feel like good slow burn storytelling it feels like they just keep pulling back and not planning anything out.

Yaknow I was really enjoying the finish to be honest. They ramped it up to Japanese Women's Strong Style and were hitting stiff shots for about 3 minutes straight. Then when Sasha locked in the Bank Statement it should've been the end of the fued-- I hate that it must continue #ZombieFeud

Why must WWE tease us with great wrestling

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Since they’ve been presented as losers pretty much since they debuted, I’m not sure why I should care about anything they get up to.

Jinder matches are my shit breaks. They both stink, but at least I’ll never see one of them again afterwards.

[Heartbreaker]

Let me guess, Mandy and Sonya go to Smackdown where we get Becky, Naomi and Charlotte vs. Mandy, Sonya and Carmella matches for eternity.

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

Feels like some people have wanted Bayley to fail from day one since she joined the main roster, tending to ignore anything good she has done and just zeroing in on the negatives.

Post Rumble I think she's been on a pretty good run

While I do concede it makes little sense after they had their locker room fight, that should have led to the blow off match once and for all, I do love that this feud is allowing Bayley to not act/be booked like she's 5 years old. This is the closest we've had to NXT Bayley since her call-up.

let Sasha go full heel, and let Bayley be the knight in shining armor always standing in her way.
Let them be the female version of Sting and Flair.

I like that she's finally got a mean streak. Lord knows she needed it during the Alexa and Charlotte feuds.

After tonight and the battle royale ending (heavy-handedly making the point that THEY LOSE WHEN THEY'RE AGAINST EACH OTHER), I'm suddenly apprehensive that they're going to pull this crap again and have them realise that only by working together can they defeat the might of the Riott Squad. As for the match itself, I'm hoping it was an off night as they were looking slow, botchy, and lacking their usual chemistry.

[héad.casé]

It must have been an off night last night because those two girls aren't the same ones that had the classic matches over the NXT Women's Title a few years ago. Last night was horrible - apart from the end where they just wailed on each other (which even perked the live crowd up)

The Riott Squad thing is especially frustrating because I thought that Paige's retirement might actually kick them into gear as far as Sasha's heel turn goes; having her join up with Absolution after feuding with them for so long as they all turn their attention and hate onto Bayley seems like a really straightforward story, Sasha is better as a heel, and it'd make the betrayal sting a lot more. Instead Riott Squad moves over so that Bayley and Sasha have another heel force to work against and it not only sells how hilariously interchangeable these two factions were, but it means we go around in f***ing circles all over again.
