Bayley is the face they need to build around to replace Cena and they can't loving see it for some reason.

I have followed her since before she was even that popular in NXT and the fact that people actually believe this is absolutely baffling.

People believe it because they saw and were told by every pundit and insider that Bayley has a unique ability to connect with children, both the young boys who already watch the show and acting as a draw to young girls who don't watch the show. She also has a poo poo ton of marketable features to her character and outfit that can translate into merchandise.

We were told for years and years that the reason WWE ignored their audience reactions and core fanbase's dislike of Cena was because he was popular with kids and sold so much merchandise that nothing else mattered. The logic is pretty clear: Bayley connects with kids, in fact even more than Cena if she can pull in little girls without losing little boys, and she's super merchandiseable, and as the cherry on top she was the one out of the Four Horsemen of their WOMEN'S REVOLUTION(tm) that the core fanbase liked the most. If she can do everything that Cena could do, plus everything Cena COULDN'T do, you would have to be an idiot not to push her as your top star, especially in an era after Ronda Rousey already proved that a woman could fill that Top Star role even in a male dominated sport if she's handled properly.

I don't know if I agree with all of that, but I certainly don't find myself in shocked disbelief that anyone could think it.

All of this was always theoretical since NXT is like an alternate universe, so I never saw a reason to buy any of it and the bigger the claim, the bigger my disbelief. Wrestling pundits are also dipshits, and I like to kiss my own rear end.

 I thought it was funny the first time enzo called someone chicken tenders and then he referred to someone as meatballs marinara, but I have been watching again since 2013 and I agree

 I miss when wrestlers tried to gouge out each others eyes with jagged pieces of wood in a bloody I quit match, back when wrestling was real
