14 WWE WrestleMania 34 Impulse Reactions
12. Losing Battle
Sasha Banks and Bayley were hopefully financially well compensated for their pre-show appearance this year. Creatively, they were again left empty at the end.
Not for the first time over the last few months, 'The Boss' and 'The Hugger' were undone by their own mistrust towards one another, battling off the best of the rest to ostensibly find themselves as the final two in the inaugural WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. It was Bayley who took advantage of the situation this time, holding onto a handshake and propelling her longstanding frenemy to the floor.
It mattered not in the end as Naomi appeared as if from nowhere to win it anyway. She'd rolled to the floor at some point and was gifted a pyrrhic victory seemingly in the place of no other acceptable substitute in the absence of the Raw Horsewoman.
Problem was, there was.
Third Horsewoman Becky Lynch had been hauled earlier in the contest for no good reason, and would have been by far the most logical beneficiary of Bayley and Banks' latest miscommunication. That two of the three most talented and over stars in the match had to act like mugs for the finish was bad enough without the third somehow suffering an even greater indignity.
