4. An Unnatural Feeling

How is it that Bayley and Becky Lynch, one-half of the Four Horsewomen, have such a long history together, and can still sound as stiff and stilted as they did on Raw Monday night?

You would think the two of them would be able to deliver convincing lines that convey their familiarity and make you want to see these two trailblazers do battle once again. Instead, Bayley and Becky muddled their way through clunky dialogue that sounded incredibly forced. It didn’t help that Bayley is ice cold as a heel faction leader.

And memo to WWE: The Becky “Man of the People” routine of going into the crowd worked great last week, but that doesn’t mean every week should include a Lynch segment in the stands. You’re going to get hit with diminishing returns quickly.

We’re probably moving toward these two facing off in the coming weeks, so hopefully this was just an off-week for them.
