25 Years Of WWE Raw Mistakes

A segment so bad, WWE pinned the blame on the virtually teflon Alexa Bliss a week later, the Champion's 'This Is Your Life' tribute to Bayley was the most spectacular misfire in a year full of them for 'The Hugger'.

Trotting out a friend, boyfriend and teacher from her past all to make bizarre Dad gags that tiptoed towards incest, Alexa tried her best but the segment was sagging from the opening seconds. Bayley's credibility was shredded further in the aftermath, particularly following her resolute failure to regain the title in her last rematch.

Scripting General Manager Kurt Angle to drop the responsibility for the disaster in Bliss' lap on Raw seven days later was thankfully the only act of similar cruelty she'd endure.
