A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE

This was a solid tag team match, with the story of Stephanie McMahon punishing Banks and Bayley a nice aspect. Hopefully, the rumoured story of Stephanie and Bayley clashing in a Daniel Bryan-esque manner continues, as it could lead to an awesome payoff at Wrestlemania 33.

What wasn’t a nice aspect here, however, was the dumb finish. Instead of Jax pinning the injured Banks, the number one contender Bayley was pinned clean heading into the biggest match of her main roster run at the Rumble.

Sure, she is an underdog, but there is a difference between an underdog and a flat-out loser, and Bayley’s booking is close to crossing the line. However, the teases of Banks turning on her ‘friend’ Bayley continue to excite, and hopefully, it is executed at the Rumble.

Overall, a decent tag team match, but a weak finish.
