Am I the only one who hates the way Bayley has been booked these last two years ?

I'm really disappointed with the way the WWE has been handling Bayley ever since she came to RAW from NXT when the WWE brand split returned in 2016. They put her in a boring feud with Dana Brooke (back when she used to be Charlotte's manager) and then Bayley immediately challenged Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Championship in December 2016 after Flair's feud with Sasha Banks was over. Bayley defeated Charlotte in a non title match on RAW but lost the next week when Charlotte cheated, yet they gave her another chance to wrestle her for the title at the Royal Rumble in 2017 where Bayley lost again but beat her on RAW in Las Vegas two weeks later to become the RAW Women's Champion. Which made her road to WrestleMania 33 mean nothing now because she already had the Women's title before it and there was hardly anything for her to do once she got the title. Sure Bayley ended Charlotte's pay per view streak at Fastlane 2017 and kept the title at WrestleMania in a 5 way match but it didn't matter because like I said earlier, she won the RAW Women's Championship too early so they couldn't have her win it at WM 33 which would've made her win more memorable. Then Alexa Bliss shows up on RAW from the Superstar shake up last April and made Bayley look like a joke, taking the RAW Women's Championship from her in her own hometown at Payback, that god awful "This is your life" segment on RAW in May and that stupid kendo stick match at Extreme Rules in June. Then Bayley got hurt before Summerslam with the separated shoulder so she couldn't get the title back, even though I still think the WWE should've never had her win it before WrestleMania to begin with. Now in recent months, it looks like she's going to turn on Sasha Banks but I think that could've been avoided had they kept Bayley away from the title a year ago and had Sasha Banks turn on her. Not book her like a loser for a year and a half and expect people to feel sorry for her. It's ridiculous.

They booked her as a woman-child who is afraid of cooties and has no backbone. What do you expect?
Like I mentioned before, she should have been booked like the female John Cena. She was VERY over with the kids and women but they bombed that.

No you're not only one who hates what they did with Bayley...

They turned her into a blueberry that nobody can take seriously...
& I'll always hate the creative & Alexa Bliss for that.

Her career is basically dead...& might I remind everyone again
that...

SHE WOULDN'T USE A KENDO STICK IN A KENDO STICK MATCH!!!
&
Was recently pinned by Lana in the Mixed Match Challenge.

Also...isn't this thread in the wrong spot?

nah dude, . She wanted too use the kendo stick. I guess she was too retarted too use it tho.

They have booked Bayley terribly since her main roster debut. Lots of terrible mistakes have been made. They haven't done anything stupid with her in 2018...so far. I don't know how they can turn back the clock to the Bayley we all know and love in NXT.

I like that they're trying to push her as the female John Cena, but at times, she's booked, marketed, and pushed as some woman-child who can't fend for herself. I can see that she has the wrestling talent, but it always comes up short - booking wise.

She's booked as if she needs a losing streak in order to look like a woman-child.

Yeah basically...

Plus Allie over on iMPACT is doing the cute, huggable character
right...as in being cute & huggable but also showing a spine &
not putting up with any shit.

I'm pretty sure the main roster creative don't want NXT Bayley...

They want Trish Stratus 2.0 & Ric Flair's Daughter...and that's
about it.

Oh...& Ronda Rousey...

:emoji_unamused:

Just imagine if Asuka WASN'T undefeated...she'd already have
been pinned by Alexa & Mandy at this point.

Alexa took Bayley’s spot because Baylee can’t cut a decent promo. She was way over with the kids and women viewers, but the top spot has to do more than put on matches.

It’s never too late. They can revamp her.

Actually Alexa took Sasha's spot as the top heel...Sasha was
literally about to turn on Bayley before Alexa walked out & ruined
the moment.

I disagree...Bayley's career is dead...and a heel turn now only
makes her look even weaker in my opinion.

Go watch Allie on Impact...she's Bayley done right...she's a
better worker and she can actually cut a promo.

What do you mean you are the only one?

Literally everybody in this solar system thinks Bayley has been booked terribly.

She seems pretty cringe to watch seeing her last match on Raw.

I just regret how in all the best/worst of 2017 stuffs so many people remember Bray and Balor as the worst feud of the year. Umm hello, Bayley and Alexa was so much worse.

maybe Bayley all along was the beneficiary of strong writing. She's a good storyteller on a brand that tells shitty stories

As a fan of Bayley, its not hard to write her character in crap.

Make her the girl next door underdog and that's it. She can do the rest. Look at her NXT work and you can see that she is solid.

She can get over and not look like a complete bafoon like during that Alexa feud (That was just bad. For both of them.). Simple formula that works.
