WWE Raw December 5th: Analysing and grading each segment

Bayley vs. Alicia Fox, Mark Henry vs. Titus O’Neill:

A poor squash match for Bayley, who remains stagnant in regards to momentum

Grade for both: 5/10

This was a glorified squash for Bayley, who can’t seem to escape the same up and down pattern that so many WWE superstars experience. Some weeks she gains momentum by beating Charlotte, others she is squashing irrelevant women in unimpressive matches.

It feels like WWE is treading water with Bayley, waiting around until she challenges Sasha Banks. Until then, WWE needs to come up with better ways to increase her momentum than this. As for Alicia Fox, well, yeah. She is stuck in a love story with Cedric Alexander, rather than being used as an established woman veteran.

Overall, a poor, glorified squash match that kept Bayley stuck in the same pattern of no momentum being gained or lost, but rather remaining stagnant.

This was the definition of a filler segment that only served to pop the crowd for the hometown hero in Henry. Instead of using Henry in a meaningful way, by having him put over younger stars, he is a cheap novelty act, which is a dumb way to use an established veteran.

This segment will contribute nothing to either man, and it doesn’t build towards any potential story. Overall, a terrible filler segment that should be kept off Raw in future.
