What was the worst match?

Beer wrote:What was the worst match?

The womens 4 way. It was god awful. I cant imagine how bad it was for the live crowd having an already slow match broken up with two five minute intervals.

If Bliss either cant take a proper bump or is scared to take a proper bump incase she gets injured again then she shouldnt be in the ring.

She's taken to Twitter to criticise the fan reaction.

Unfortunately, they just cannot book women's wrestling outside of Ronda because they find such fascination by the word "women's" in there.

Smackdown was an improvement, with all of the wrestlers booked showing their characters and building feuds.
