WWE decided to give the Boston faithful a little treat before TLC kicked off, sending out hometown girl Sasha Banks to compete against her former NXT rival, Becky Lynch. The two have had great matches against each other in the past, and it definitely was a treat to see both women in action. But maybe because Banks is from Boston, the writers thought it would be a good idea to give Team BAD material that would lead to fans booing them (since they are heels, after all). If thats the case, then they still failed miserably, because the fans werent booing the women, they were booing such a godawful song. And there is a difference. Team BADs horrid version of 12 Days of Christmas wasnt even entertaining from a heelish perspective. It was mute the television or change the channel bad. And that is not what you should be going for in this situation. Its a shame, because Sasha has shown that shes perfectly capable of delivering an awesome heel promo, but instead we got a brutal song that did nothing to help anyone or advance anything.
