5 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 23)

Downs...

5. Crazy Like A Fox

And the obsession with Alicia Fox continues…

But this “down” isn’t for Alicia Fox becoming Survivor Series team captain. Let’s face it: Bayley or Sasha Banks as captain would have been boring. But Foxy will at least be unpredictable.

The match itself to determine the captain was pedestrian at best, and disappointing at worst. It’s really scary to hear how silent fans are when Bayley is on offense in the ring. Maybe it’s rose-colored glasses from her NXT days, but it’s as if she has no momentum at all the moment her music ends and the inflatable tube men deflate.

The writers are capable of putting together a good storyline, but Alicia screaming and freaking out isn’t an angle.
