8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 5)
5. Fighting Over Stuffed Animals
This column has been critical in the past of a lack of storylines and reasons for feuds, but sometimes, less is more.
Take the case of Bayley versus Alicia Fox on Monday, which came about due to something that went down during the Raw pre-show. Apparently, Bayley was handing out stuffed bears to people backstage and offered one to Cedric Alexander, whom Fox has had an eye on. Alicia went off, and thus we had a match on Raw.
Seriously. Stuffed animals. On the pre-show. OK, so it isn’t as bad as spilled coffee or a shampoo commercial, but still, this is a pretty silly reason. It’s not offensive (although painting Fox as a jealous, unstable woman is just playing up stereotypes), but they could have just had a match and no one would have batted an eyelash.
