As a male wrestling fan, lemme say this; it makes no sense for Bayley, who fought the likes of Asuka twice (and gave her an insanely competitive match both times), tapped out Nia Jax, fought in the first female Iron Match in the WWE system, AND had her hand broken by Sasha Banks (and still won) -- to be afraid of GETTING HIT BY A STICK WIELDED BY A 5 FOOT TALL WOMAN AND GET PUT DOWN BY A SINGLE DDT. That match, BTW, is considered a serious runner for Worst MOTY. Unbelievable.

*shouting about wrestling under the cut*

RIGHT? And the fact that they didn’t have her on the last Raw (with that terrible excuse about “recuperating”) makes me feel like they have no plan???? Which makes me really worried about Bayley! I was hoping that maybe this was building to something! That maybe there was a GOAL instead of it all being the result of WRITER INCOMPETENCE????

When their match ended I was just sputtering at my laptop “Why don’t they want people to like Bayley? Why do they hate Bayley?” Because the idea that this could’ve been done on accident is MIND BLOWING. HOW could ANYONE POSSIBLY THINK that THISSSSS is how to get a babyface over??? Yes faces lose, but they lose in a way that makes us feel like they tried their hardest! They don’t lose because they were either too pathetic to use a STICK or too incompetent TO KEEP A STICK and so weak that BEING HIT WITH A STICK WAS JUST TOO MUCH. I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND?????? WHAT WAS THAT??? WHO THOUGHT THAT ANY OF THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA???

Remember when she debuted at Battleground and the crowd went nuts for her?? It hasn’t even been A YEAR and she got BOOED AT EXTREME RULES!

Do they simply COMPLETELY NOT UNDERSTAND WHO BAYLEY IS AND WHY SHE GOT OVER IN THE FIRST PLACE???? IT’S MIND BOGGLING???!!?!?!?!

Bayley is a WRESTLER. NXT allowed her to be both kind and huggable and angry and ruthless. NXT didn’t make her choose. They allowed her to be complex enough to have both in her. When she beat Sasha Banks at Takeover: Respect she held her arms back and stomped her fucking head.

And that anger and GRIT is soooo important in a face! How do they not KNOW THAT? THIS IS THEIR JOB????

Bayley CARED ABOUT THINGS enough to GET ANGRY ABOUT THEM. She cared enough about the title to do whatever it took to win it (within the rules obviously) not just for herself, but for US! Because she wanted to win for US! And because she wanted to beat THIS BULLY! Her kindness didn’t make her naive or weak!!!!! Bayley is ALL ABOUT HEART! WHICH MEANS IT SHOULD TAKE SO FUCKING MUCH TO KEEP HER DOWN. GAH I’M SO MAD

*tries to calm down*

On the hopeful side, things can change so quickly in wrestling. I mean look at Jinder Mahal. Or Dean losing to Brock at Wrestlemania and becoming World Champion just a few months later at Money in the Bank. And they have two brands to shuffle people between now, so it’s easier than ever before to give someone a reboot. But fuck. this has been upsetting. I don’t need my favorites to win all the time. I don’t need them to hold titles. But I do need them to stay true to the characters. to be treated with respect and thought by the writers. i didn’t think THAT THAT WAS AN UNTENABLE DREAM MY GOD
