...but all the negativity in SmackDown's female ranks is equally as drunk.

It's not a happy drunk either. Right at the top of the show, Bayley cut a promo that lacked energy, somehow meandered despite lasting 60 seconds and failed to excite the live crowd in Memphis. Worse, Sasha Banks managed to outshine her without speaking over the microphone.

To top it all off, Bayley was interrupted mid-flow by Lacey Evans, and the 'Sassy Southern Belle' randomly claimed that the heels were badmouthing her daughter again. They weren't. Bayley and Sasha Banks hadn't said anything about the little girl at all, leading one to believe that WWE jumped the gun on Lacey's music.

To recap, Bayley is sucking wind on the mic, didn't get to finish her point and then babyface Evans looked stupid by talking about things that hadn't happened yet. Whomever scripted this needs a lesson in formatting, because it didn't help anybody.
