25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2021
23. Lily The Doll
WWE has a long-running history with making inanimate objects the focus of our attention. Believe it or not, this isn't always a terrible idea. The Undertaker's urn had a great run embodying the source of his power during the early years of his career, but for every urn, there's Dean Ambrose's potted plant or Perry Saturn's mop.
Lily The Doll was introduced on the April 21st episode of Monday Night Raw to help establish Alexa Bliss as a spooky heel. Coming in the aftermath of Bliss's supernatural gibberish at WrestleMania 37, Lily was placed on a swing as Alexa explained that the doll was part of her future plans. The segment ended with Bliss letting out an over-the-top laugh that Dr. Evil would be proud of.
Hearing the WWE commentary team try to take Lily's presence at ringside with any degree of seriousness was a pain-staking endeavour. Having Doudrop be booked as a wrestling behemoth, only to turn to jelly when faced with Lily the doll, was torture for audiences everywhere, as Lily became a major player in some of the year's worst angles.
