5 Mistakes committed by WWE this week: 16th May 2017

#3 Kendo Stick on a Pole nonsense

When has any X Thing on a Pole match worked?

If you look at the history of X Thing on a Pole matches that the WWE have put on, almost all of them are terrible. These matches are even worse than Chairs matches, and that’s saying something. Unfortunately, the WWE doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo on this one.

When Alexa Bliss and Bayley squared off in a heated exchange – where Bliss was predictably great and Bayley was predictably bland – it ended with The Hugger getting beaten black and blue with a kendo stick.

Cue a Kendo Stick on a Pole match booked between the two for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship at Extreme Rules. It’s a shame that the WWE seems hell-bent on bringing back these matches over and over again.
