5. Bayley Loudly Calling Spots

As the old saying goes, then the bell rang.

One of the major problems with Lacey is that her inexperience shows up in lengthier matches. That was the case at Extreme Rules, and it was the case here against Bayley on SmackDown. In fairness to Evans, her peers need to be a bit more covert with their spot-calling if they're going to lead her through.

At one point in the match, Bayley (who should know better by now) loudly shouted, "Arm Drag" before performing the move. The announcers weren't talking and the ring mics were up full, so this didn't do them any favours.
