10 Times WWE Went Wrong With Bayley On The Main Roster
7. Dressed Down By Stephanie McMahon (Raw, Jan. 9, 2017)
No one has been safe from Stephanie McMahon and her tendency to castrate characters on the Raw roster. Absolutely no one, including Bayley. That quickly became evident upon her arrival on the Raw roster, but it was especially bothersome during her feud with Charlotte Flair at the onset of 2017.
There was one backstage segment in particular on January 9 in which Sasha Banks and Bayley confronted Stephanie and demanded a tag team match against Charlotte and Nia Jax. Instead, Stephanie gave them a brutal tongue lashing and made them look completely inferior to her. Bayley simply tucked her tail and walked away.
In the months that followed, Stephanie continued to make a total joke out of Bayley, and more often than not, Bayley would endure the verbal bullying from the boss. The former NXT Women's champion isn't the aggressive type, but she should have at least stood up for herself. The one time she did, where she refused to relinquish the title, came off awkwardly because Bayley won the belt in fluky fashion to begin with.
