10 Wrestling Props You Totally Don't Remember

4. Alicia Fox's Hat

In a strange development, Alicia Fox was made captain of the Raw Women's Survivor Series team in 2017.

It scans in retrospect as a rather ugly bid to depict her as wacky, and further illuminating how things went the way they did subsequently, she defeated Sasha Banks for the privilege - Sasha Banks, a genuine star, was slowly eroded as a star because of bullsh*t like this.

Because Vince McMahon thought Alicia Fox was funny wearing a precious little hat that she'd deluded herself into thinking made her important, bless her.

A mean-spirited and frivolous temporary McMahon obsession, it's difficult to remember because Vince McMahon has several, countless mean-spirited and frivolous temporary obsessions - like Shorty G, Mick Foley saying the arena lights were going to get turned down for the third hour of Raw that time, and his son.

As daft as the whole forgettable business was, it's wild that this is the most a WWE character has given a single f*ck about the Survivor Series concept in the five years since.

Seth Rollins actually cared in 2019 - Team Raw's failure informed his heel turn into a meta, sanctimonious locker room leader character - but he didn't care enough to wear a hat.
