Bayley vs. Naomi was also a snore.

It went at least five minutes too long for the spot it was in (WWE put this SmackDown Women's Title bout in between a steel cage Roman Reigns vs. 'King' Corbin match and the Goldberg vs. Bray Wyatt main event) and sucked the atmosphere out of the Mohammed Abdu Arena thanks to Bayley's endless headlocks.

Neither woman looked particularly comfortable wrestling in baggy, oversized t-shirts either. All that combined to ensure that this "historic, first ever Women's Title showdown in Saudi Arabia" came out looking like the kind of thing both would be chewed out for producing on house shows.

Naomi could've been an interesting prospect for Bayley had they not been bogged down by the weight of expectation or given the 'death spot' on a pay-per-view few wanted in the first place. If women's matches are gonna' be this poor, then just leave them off these Saudi shows.
