Where: Hell In A Cell

Why It's Here: Shayna Baszler has had a miserable time on the "main roster".

Since being called up from NXT to Raw, Shayna has been a vampire, Nia Jax' rival, Nia Jax' pal and somebody who sh*ts it from dolls. Who knew that Baszler's MMA opponents and NXT enemies just had to bring "Lilly" to the party and watch as Shayna was spotted running for the hills?

Alexa Bliss vs. Baszler at Hell In A Cell was yet another stallfest from the former, and it didn't do much to sell Shayna as an eventual singles star who could credibly go after the Raw Women's Title. The constant involvement of Jax and Reginald only made the bout more excruciating to watch too.

Bliss suddenly developed mind control powers (to go along with telekinesis and the ability to control pyrotechnics) so she could use Nia and Reggie as distractions. None of this worked, and it only made one yearn for the good old days of Baszler vs. Io Shirai.
