I enjoyed it but I think they hosed up the match storytelling between Sasha and Bayley. If your narrative is that Banks has the skills, the ruthlessness, and the cunning to be the best and Bayley has to get by on her heroic qualities (and hints at tapping into some inner rage) Banks has to be more dominant. Give her more than a single pin lead, create some space for Bayley to overcome. Spend more time establishing that on paper, Sasha Banks is just plain better. When they're trading pins and control of the match, you're not selling me a story that really matters, y'know? You're saying "here's two evenly matched competitors, ps the good guy won." Since Bayley is supposed to be getting by on ability, heart, drive, etc., show me that by showing me her striving through getting her rear end kicked. Do it like they did with CM Punk, where he'd get his rear end kicked for most of the match but fight like a desperate cornered animal. You could put Punk against monsters like Lesnar and still look credible because he always looked like he was scratching and clawing to stay alive against superior opponents.

I've caught flack for saying it before but Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch did a better job of showing who the characters are and making me care about their struggle.

the story of this match was "baley's title win wasn't a fluke" so having her be more dominating, while sasha desperately does things like try and succeed to get falls by cheating and countout victories. bayley doesn't just get by on heart, she got better

The odds of Bayley making any impact on the main roster while Vince and Bucky Beaver are in charge are not good. Obviously she has something special, but I don't have a good feeling about how much people in charge other than Triple H really are interested in her.

that's good just keep her as the face of the nxt women's division

Bayley has the most potential since CM Punk and it is not even close.

good to know they'll use her natural starpower to put over the total divas and everyone will be worse or gone in the end
