6 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (April 30th)
3. Emma & Bayley Are Feuding Over ... Headbands?
This rivalry took a rather large step backwards last night. The feud between the Australian Dancer and the Doctor of Huganomics, had, up until this point, been about Emma trying to get Bayley to embrace her dark side, ramp up her aggression, and ditch the smiles. Gone however are the tense scenes of Emma slapping Bayley, telling her to grow up. Instead, Emma has starting wearing her t-shirts and nicking her stuff. Perhaps stealing her headbands was Emma's new way of trying to make Bayley ditch her childish accoutrements, but it just comes across as silly, and, god forbid, girly. The distraction finish to the Bayley/Dana Brooke bout felt unworthy of NXT and the promise that Bayley delivered to the camera following the match - promising 'I will get my things back' - felt much less dramatic than this feud deserves. The fans shouldn't be worried about the quality of the match brewing between the two ladies, but the petty nature that this feud has taken is somewhat of a misstep.
