6 Ups & 7 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 37 - Night 2

Memo to WWE: No one likes or cares about the Bella Twins. They’re not icons or legendary performers, no matter how much you build them up or fake honors you bestow upon them.

So when Nikki and Brie Bella came out to shut up Bayley (who was killing it by insulting Titus O’Neil, Hulk Hogan and Michael Cole), the fans rightly booed the entire beatdown from the Bellas. In the writers’ room, they probably envisioned this segment as a big welcome back moment for the Bellas, silencing the loudmouth Bayley. But the fans crapped on that decision – as they should have.

Maybe if fan-favourite Molly Holly had come out and battled Bayley, fans would have been more accepting of it. At least Bayley got off a nice dig to Nikki: “John Cena’s not here tonight.”
