I think Bayley's push is Vince's idea of a push. They had the perfect underdog story with Bayley already, in NXT. Why mess with success. They had her win the title too soon, killing the feel good idea of her winning at WM, then had her lose in her hometown. And then Alexa gets all the verbal heat on her and she doesnt even get a come back. Then Alexa beats her down and she gets no response.
I agree that this IS their idea of booking an underdog. But the risk, unless you do it well, is that you're just burying someone. I dont think its been effective booking at all. But they will keep going and Bayley will eventually win the title and they will pat themselves on the back and she will be 65% as over as she could be.
Now I have to complain about RAW. Firstly, very effective use of Joe most of the night...until the slip-on-a-banana-peel victory over Seth. Just have Joe beat him for **** sake. He's the #1 contender. They made Seth look like an idiot and made Joe's victory less effective. Just let him win. Its okay to win.
