Y'know what made Billie Kay and Peyton Royce look bad? Not loving pinning each other in that four-way when Cross and Asuka were both dead.

Bayley is an issue with NXT where it doesn't work. You see they had already used the best story for her there. And she had wrestled so many of the other people there. So she gets to the main roster and all those people are there. But she already wrestled them and went through her storyline with them. You can't just redo the underdog thing with people she's already beaten. But that's the character that got her popular. It would be different if she were from another federation wrestling different people and then have that same storyline. But they can't go back to that well again with the same people. So I think the best thing to do is turn her heel and have fun with the character. Like remember that snickers commercial? That sort of thing. Don't worry about making her the most hated heel in town. Just make her a fun character again then go from there.

The worst part of the rise of NXT is that WWE makes the idiotic assumption that nobody needs to be given reasons to care about the big names that come from it because people have watched NXT. People who like Bayley will not mind seeing more of what they liked from NXT, and people who don't watch NXT will like being given a reason to care about this new person they've never seen instead of being told "HEY THEY WERE GOOD SOMEWHERE ELSE".

It's a very TNA thing. Could you imagine if in like 2004 WWE assumed everybody watched OVW or whatever their developmental program was?

The easy solution to this was to send her to SmackDown and they didn't do that.
Alexa Bliss was also a totally new feud for her and it was completely botched and is easily the worst thing both wrestlers have ever been a part of.

I missed the boat on American Alpha in NXT, so when they went up, I was like "okay, cool, everybody likes these guys and they're very slick in the ring, but who are they?" Still don't really know 'cause WWE never told me and I never went back to watch. At least do some freakin' vignettes or something.

Nah, you just have her hug Steph, then give her the Bayley to Belly.

Then she needs to have juice boxes thrown to her in the ring.
