Canada witnessed a pretty interesting episode of Raw, this week

#1 Worst: Booing a legitimate injury

We understand that it is 2017 and the crowd likes to have fun, cheering for the heels and booing the babyfaces. However, sometimes their behaviour is inexcusable. Bayley was fighting back tears as she cut a heartfelt promo about her legitimate injury that would not allow her to wrestle at SummerSlam.

The crowd began booing her when she thanked them for their support and encouraging Tweets. We wonder if booking needs to be blamed for the downfall of Bayley, from the company's most beloved and adored babyface to someone whose legitimate injury does not attract kindness.

For a babyface who is set to take some time off due to a legit injury, the reaction was downright disrespectful.
