5 Things that went wrong with Bayley’s heel turn in WWE

#2 Average promos

Countless heels in WWE lose matches every week but the one thing that keeps them going is their promos. Sadly, that’s one aspect of Bayley that has failed to draw attention from the WWE Universe in the last few weeks.

The most recent example would be that of Survivor Series. Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch were involved in a fantastic promo ahead of the pay-per-view. But Bayley’s promo for the event was quite underwhelming. Despite being a Champion herself, she looked to be the weakest link in the build-up owing to her promos that had little to no impact.

Bayley desperately needs a few good promos under her belt if she wishes to establish herself as a dominant heel on the roster. She has already stepped away from her ‘hugger’ persona but is a long way away from fully embracing the ‘darker’ side of her character. We have seen her engage in a war of words with Corey Graves and it would be better if she carries the same attitude every time she picks up a mic.
