It’s really a shame to see WWE running what should feel like an epic feud between Bayley and Becky Lynch and to not feel anything for it at all.

That’s not true, there is a sensation to report: Make it be over.

Bayley came out to gloat about tossing Lynch from the Royal Rumble Saturday night when Becky sauntered out to tell her to shut up and ultimately challenged her to that steel cage match that got canned due to time constraints. She obeyed the rules of the “invisible wall” and stayed up on the ramp, then finally went and grabbed a wounded Dakota Kai, threatening to break her leg to get the cage match.

In between there, Bayley made a joke about Seth Rollins only marrying Lynch because he knocked her up, which of course is just a terrible “joke” that had zero impact and really just dragged the feud down even more. The sooner this thing ends, the better at this point.
