2. Breaking Up Is So Hard To Do

When the cadre of writers who script Raw can’t even book a breakup angle correctly, you know there are real problems.

For months, we’ve been “treated” to Sasha Banks and Bayley’s saga of will they, won’t they break up. They’ve teased a feud, actually exchanged blows, made up, sniped at each other, made up, squabbled, made up, and now finally came to blows again on Monday night.

As poorly as the entire storyline has been, the worst part might be the fact that it wasn’t Banks who initiated the fight, but the Huggable One. Sasha, who has proven to be an effective heel, tried to walk away from Bayley, only for her friend to attack her from behind.

Seriously, this isn’t hard to write. Or maybe it is.
