I'm guessing this is why when I see Bayley, Sasha, well most of the heralded NXT grads that I am very unimpressed. Besides the Charlotte/Banks series of title matches, the whole division is lacking for me...no distinct believable stories, lackluster matches terrible booking.

So many things wrong...how has Nia Jax - once built to be the Strowman of the women - now just "there"? Besides the new faction and Bliss, there are no heels at all, and that aspect is worse on Smackdown where everyone is friends against the three newbies. They give corny mofos like Breezango and New Day whole segments, but refuse to give one iota of support behind the "womens' revolution" outside of lip service. Now they're putting Rousey on Raw and will probably give her a WM spot ahead of all the workers that built the platform to start with...WWE is so bad with this stuff...
