WWE should be billing this as one of the dangerous matches in WrestleMania history, and perhaps would have done had they not attempted to present this warped version of events as an escape rather than a potent reminder of exactly what's happening at the moment.

Five wrestlers and a referee will join the commentators and camera operators and whomever else is needed for a battle of this nature when a one-on-one encounter or absolutely no match at all would have sufficed.

The story between Champion Bayley and bestie Sasha Banks is barely told, and their eventual mid-match breakdown in relations will feel insincere as a result. No more so than their cautious reunion on the #SmackDownAfterMania (filmed #ThreeWeeksBeforeAir), but it'll be jarring all the same. Tamina was more of an unwelcome ex than a surprise X during her return, whilst Lacey Evans and Naomi have failed to beat the former Hugger in easier circumstances this year.

WrestleMania will overdeliver places to those with rock bottom expectations. This isn't one of those places.

Winner - Bayley
