Let this sink in: Bayley turned on her friend and was ordered into mandatory counseling. Seriously.

GM Kurt Angle told Bayley that her actions indicated that she clearly doesn’t care about the women’s evolution, so she will be entering mandatory counseling, or she’ll be fired. That is about the dumbest thing we’ve ever heard on Raw. And that’s saying a lot.

How many male tags teams have broken up, and how many have been ordered into counseling? NONE. This is wholly unprecedented (and Daniel Bryan doesn’t count, as he was ordered into counseling by a vindictive ex-girlfriend), and just plain weird. Bayley has to go into counseling because she turned on a friend.

It’s ridiculously hard to wrap your mind around that one.
