3. Alexa In Pole Position Against Bayley

Just when you thought WWE had turned a corner and started to taking women's wrestling seriously, they have their championship match revolve around a pole.

OK, so they won't exactly be dancing on it, but let's not allow this tame attempt at humour mask what is a pretty asinine stipulation. Has there ever been a 'blank-on-a-pole' match in the history of wrestling that wasn't utter bum-chunder?

The simply interminable 'This Is Your Life' segment this past week on Raw aside, Alexa Bliss is an asset as the Raw women's champion, and it's not yet the time for her to drop the belt to supposed underdog Bayley. Given her repeated beatings courtesy of Alexa's kendo stick in recent weeks, one can expect the 'Huggable One' to snatch the weapon first and exact some revenge - but not enough to dismiss Bliss.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
