Extreme Rules Alexa Bliss vs Bayley

[irish_stu]

This needs to be a really good amtch because the buildup to this one has been garbage, god alone know the ladies have tried working with it but whoever has been writing this build needs sacking.

Bayley really needs to get the kendo stick and whoop Alexa, i think that would get a real pop and i know Alexa would sell it great.

Not sure about the finish, Alexa still needs to walk away with title but a screwy finish would work in both their favour. After this Bayley needs soething away from the title picture because it just hasnt worked.

This whole feud has been one bad thing after the next. The latest segment felt like it was written by the tumblr community.
I have 0 interest which is sad cause Bliss was on fire... Seems like Raw is where people go to get lame.

Wow

 

[Prince Bálor]

I have no interest in this match, so I'll gladly skip it. As for who's winning, Alexa, probably.

This could easily be the most memorable match on the card because it's such a symbol of how women's wrestling, and Raw, has died. Every single thing about this sucks horribly and is downright embarassing, and the only good decision is to cut this match from the card altogether

Okay...so essentially what has happened is Alexa Bliss was swapped out for Charlotte and
is basically playing the same character.

Seriously...there was a segment where Charlotte made fun of Bayley's past and it wasn't
half as painful as that This is your Life segment. I believe it took place just before the
Royal Rumble.

I'm honestly kind of over Alexa Bliss and being on RAW hasn't done her any favors in
my opinion. She seemed more interesting and fresher on SmackDown...now she's just
coming of as Mini-Charlotte...but without half the ring skills.

Bayley continues to struggle on the main roster and has looked pretty pathetic for months
now...even when she was the champion.

Hopefully Alexa retains and moves into a feud with Sasha Banks and Bayley can go and
play with her dolls or something.

I also want to state that I don't have the highest hopes for this match...and I honestly don't
really care about the entire Extreme Rules PPV.

All I know is that for having 8 healthy women on their roster...RAW are doing nothing with them.
(Emma is injured...but I'm also counting Summer Rae)

I really feel sorry for Mickie James because if she was left on SmackDown...she would have
been an amazing asset for the history making women's Money in the Bank ladder Match.

Now...she can't even get on TV on a weekly basis.

*Sigh*

Well...at least the Impact story line between Rosemary & Allie is interesting...

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

I don't even watch RAW and I just want this shit to be over.

I wouldn't saw being on Raw has done bad things for Alexa. Being amongst big names like Lynch, Natalya and Nikki Bella meant that the focus was rarely on Bliss, even when she was the champion over on Smackdown. On Raw, the only bigger name than Alexa is Sasha Banks. This is why Sasha is being kept so firmly out of the way right now in the intention of making both Bliss and Bayley bigger.

Let's not kid ourselves, this is not going to be a good match. Bayley can wrestle and sell very well. Alexa can do both adequately. Also, this isn't going to be anywhere near as "extreme" as they're making people think. The only weapon likely to be used is the kendo stick, by Bayley, before Nia Jax comes in to cost Bayley the match. It's going to have no heat behind it and Bayley's "I'm an underdog" thing is long since overplayed and boring. At this point the only way to really get Bayley over is to (and I'm sad to say this) put her in a feud where Stephanie McMahon is clearly favouring her opponent. Stephanie is the only heel big enough to really go against Bayley at this point in a way that ends favourably for Bayley.

Although, maybe Maryse. She could do a job there.

What SmackDown shows were you watching? Alexa was drawing all the focus away from the big names...its why
they moved her to RAW and made her the top heel.

The only weapon likely to be used is the kendo stick, by Bayley, before Nia Jax comes in to cost Bayley the match.

I don't think we will see Nia...apparently creative has no plans for her at this time...
So much for her being Alexa's Bodyguard and possibly developing her character.

At this point the only way to really get Bayley over is to (and I'm sad to say this) put her in a feud where Stephanie McMahon is clearly favoring her opponent. Stephanie is the only heel big enough to really go against Bayley at this point in a way that ends favorably for Bayley.

I hate to say this...but I honestly think Bayley is beyond repair now...Stephanie feud or not.

The RAW writers didn't expand or build on her "character" and then basically destroyed the
one she had. She has been a colossal failure and possibly one of the worst booked champions
in recent memory.

She clearly isn't over...and I honestly don't think she'll ever get over.

I'm sure had Bayley originally been drafted to SmackDown...the writers on the Blue Brand would
have done something better with her...but she started out slow on RAW, was given the title and a
Wrestlemania moment before being dropped like a sack of kaiju shit.

Alexa vs. Sasha is the feud the RAW women's division needs...because if they aren't going to turn
Sasha...I say make her the top babyface and let her win the title at Summerslam and finally break
her pay per view title match loosing streak.

Alexa was never the top female name on Smackdown. The top feud there was Bella vs Natalya. It's easy to think she was the main focus but that's because she did a lot better with a whole lot less time.

Also she tapped out a lot. And I mean a lot. They really drilled home her character just in the background a little bit and she made herself absolutely unmissable. I am a full on Alexa mark.

I think we'll see Jax because Bayley now has to move on from the title. The easiest way to do that would be to put her into a feud with a monster heel. That then opens the route for, yes, Sasha/Bliss at Summerslam with Banks winning the title and then entering into a feud with Bayley while Alexa transitions to face by going up against Jax.
