10 Things WWE Needs To Learn From WrestleMania 37

There was no Ding Ding! Hello!, no match and no surprise confrontation with Becky Lynch or even Charlotte Flair for Bayley at WrestleMania 37.

The omittance of the Role Model at this year's WrestleMania is absolutely criminal.

It's not just that Bayley is one of the best all-round performers that WWE has, but more importantly she is one of the talents who truly carried the company through the tumultuous past year.

Having to adjust to an empty arena setting was always going to be tough. Even now, the use of the ThunderDome setup clearly doesn't match having an arena full of people. But while WWE has tried to get used to this new reality, one of those who has flourished and been a constant shining light for the company is Bayley.

Through her in-ring work and the sheer personality she's shown as she's further embraced her heel persona, Bayley deserved to be rewarded with a marquee match at WrestleMania 37.

For someone so talented, so entertaining and so giving to every opponent she steps in the ring with, it's outright embarrassing that WWE couldn't find something better for Bayley to do at this year's Granddaddy of Them All.

There's zero excuses for WWE here. Even if it was a last-minute, thrown-together match against someone - maybe Charlotte, maybe Io Shirai - the company had a two-day event where they somehow couldn't find room for Bayley to lace up her boots.
