It can’t be said enough that WWE does not seem to know how to book babyfaces. The latest case in point has to be Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke.

Last week the duo walked out on a tag match they instigated after laughing at Nia Jax’s clumsiness, losing via count-out. On Monday, they interrupted Nia & Shayna Baszler’s match against Lana & Naomi to play Jax’s pratfalls on the tron. This led to Nia stalking them, and the blonde duo fled.

Later, Dana & Mandy were giving a promo where they said they weren’t the bullies, and then immediately ran away when Jax showed up. That’s now three times the supposed babyfaces have retreated from their rival.

Explain how we’re supposed to cheer them? Because Nia is clumsy and a bully?
