Champions don’t win every match, nor should they. But if you’re a champ, you probably ought to win more often than you lose. Otherwise, you might as well substitute the “a” in champ with a “u.”

In the case of Bayley, she’s slated to defend her Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania in a triple threat against Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks. That match was a one-on-one against Charlotte, but Bayley lost a bout against Banks last week to add her to the mix.

This week, Bayley faced Nia Jax and was tossed around pretty easily. Jax drew a weak DQ for not obeying the referee’s orders and then proceeded to continue attacking Bayley, leaving her laying on the floor. And just like that, your women’s champion looked weak again.

And now we might have a fatal four-way title match at Mania. Because why not?
