In response to "Not even the neck-breaking during the women's match? -- nm" by Imperator

Sasha's bump on the finish was not nearly as bad as Bayley's. It happens but takes nothing away from the match.

Also, as I said on Twitter and this guy (the best wrestling writer, sorry Grantland guy, you've been surpassed) expands upon, this is the payoff of the story they've been telling with Bayley for two years. She's an newcomer, teams with other newcomer Charlotte, who turns on her. Becky Lynch also turned on her at one point. She was the Sting of NXT for a while. But the character never gave up or compromised. It lets people get invested in the character and storyline. They don't do this sort of thing on Raw and it infuriates me sometimes because it works. Bayley is possibly my favorite character because they let me get invested in wanting to see her win.
