A review that nobody asked for of Bayley vs Shayna vs Becky at Survivor Series: 4 months later
Bayley once said she rewatches her matches 4 times, and on the 4th viewing, she mutes it... and now I see why. Decided to do the same with their Survivor Series match, and it completely changed my perspective. That crowd was hot garbage, but I'll try to be fair in my "analysis".
- There were about 4 different spots/sequences that were shot terribly or were completely missed by the camera, so that sucks
- The match itself was brawler/striker heavy, so wahh to the people that need their flipZ to rate a match high, I guess, "Where's my 15 superkicks ??¿?"

- There was 1 botched spot
- The pacing was actually a lot better than the antsy crowd made it seem
- All 3 were quite expressive in the match, and even muted, I could sense the story each one was trying to tell
- The whole match came across as exhausting and brutal

- Bayley did shine the brightest and had some incredible character work imo; I'm still ridiculously excited about a Becky/Bayley 1v1 in the future
- Shayna has chemistry with both of them and I'm stoked to see her finish her story with Becky
- Lastly, Bayley should've won

In conclusion, I don't fault the performers (or the producers) for the crowd turning on that match. It was much more enjoyable and entertaining than the reviews would make it seem. What I have learned from this experience is: a bad crowd can really hinder a match's potential...
And it's for that reason that I don't miss the crowd. Though the circumstance causing their absence is unfortunate, too many people are already spreading way too much negativity surrounding the women's matches, so I'm grateful there won't be anyone there to hijack the show.
