Building the Women of Team RAW
Captain Charlotte comes out and talks about her win on Sunday. She focuses her attention on being captain and heading her team into Survivor Series. She says there is a weak link and calls out Bayley. Bayley talks about how success has changed Charlotte and that she does not even know who she is anymore. Bayley is then called a dreamer, while Charlotte does. Charlotte says Bayley is the weak link and needs to be tested. Out comes Nia Jax.
The match between Bayley and Jax was interesting to me. We know the star power of Bayley, but how can she overcome someone over a hundred pounds heavier and stronger than her. Bayley hits a running bulldog and throws herself into Nia. Nia drops Bayley with a running lariat and then heads to the top rope. Bayley goes for the Bayley to Belly, but Nia headbutt’s Bayley and Bayley falls to the outside. Nia plants Bayley with the Samoan Drop to pickup the victory.
WWE Raw gave us some insight into the next few weeks, not years. Nia Jax is great and will always be a sight to see. She is more than just a big woman in the ring. She is smart and knows what to do and when to pander to the crowd. Does losing hurt Bayley? I am not sure. It might in the near future, especially since you are getting so much average development from her. I am a huge Bayley fan, but I do think there needs to be more seriousness in her game.
The Odd Couple Continues
As I mentioned Monday morning, Sheamus and Cesaro will continue to be a tag team and have some time to grow. Their match at Hell in a Cell showed that WWE will want them to be used in some capacity until 2017. They are really good together and I think you can tell they enjoy working with one another as a tag team. Yes, they are going to bicker like brothers for a few weeks and even past Survivor Series. It will make either their championship win or inevitable split feel more important. A win over the Shining Stars on WWE RAW was just a reset and an average match. You would imagine they would be added to The New Day and their Survivor Series team.
