10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Oct 17)

9. Dana Brooke Hammers A Jobber Then Bayley Attacks To Gain Revenge

Right after Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon put over the women on their brand, it'd be time for Dana Brooke to pick up a rare televised win. Last week, Brooke attacked Bayley after the popular babyface had dispatched some enhancement talent. On the coming edition of Raw, the roles would be reversed.

This is an easy way to write the story, leading nicely into making Dana vs. Bayley the ideal Kickoff match for Hell In A Cell. WWE may want the female bout to be part of the main card, but the scenario works either way. On Raw, Brooke beats on a hapless jobber, refusing to pin her victim when she has the chance.

Eventually, she puts the 'local competitor' out of her misery. That's when Bayley decides to come out and gain revenge for what happened to her at the hands of Brooke previously. A little role reversal helps sell the fact that neither woman can stand the other.

Coming off of Mick Foley's assertion that women are vital to Raw, this would work.
