[2017-04-30-WWE-Payback] Bayley vs Alexa Bliss

[ShittyLittleBoots]

These two had a really good match last year, so I knew there was some chemistry there. They had an even better match here - it was executed so well w/ the emotion & the effective babyface-heel roles. Alexa's work on top was really good, really liked her trash talk during that too. Bayley's big comeback was super great - loved the energy & fire she brought. The sense of urgency picked up big time once Bayley's comeback was done - they started hitting each other w/ the big bombs; Bayley trying to go for the super Bayley-to-Belly, Alexa busting out the sunset flip powerbomb, Bayley doing her awesome Macho Man tribute elbow. The finish was really neat with Alexa getting a win with a normal DDT (in 2017!!) - it made perfect sense because Bayley's head hit the ringpost just before. Great match! ****

This was really great! If it weren't for Roman's beastly great performance in the main event, this would have been my favorite match of the night. Hot damn, Alexa Bliss has got to be one of the most improved workers of the past year. Not to mention that her character as a heel is absolutely on point. Great progression of the match. The sunset flip bomb was a great spot, the elbow looked fantastic, and the ringpost spot was creative and unexpected! Wonderful stuff here, glad to see Bliss go over like this.

 

***3/4

This was great. Alexa busted out new, impressive moves, was just this amazing heel during the match and she made Bayley's head her target not only during the finishing moments but throughout the match as well.

 

They have very good chemistry, really. ****
