Sasha’s Raw Promo

By Scott Keith on August 4, 2016

> Hi, Scott.

> What did you think of Sasha’s promo opening Raw? I’ll defer to your and your readers’ judgment on her delivery, but something about the content caught my attention.

> Other than Sasha not understanding how one night stands work (all she had to say was something like "if there’s anyone who knows about one night stands, it’s a Flair"), the thing that most stuck out to me was referencing the Bayley match from the Takeover Brooklyn show last year.

> From an in character perspective, why would the Boss bring up a match she lost? If a non-NXT viewer decided to check out the match, they would see her losing her title at the show. I understand laying the groundwork for a Bayley program, but shouldn’t Sasha care more about beating Charlotte to retain the title rather than having a "classic" (I think the Bayley-Sasha match got Match of the Year votes in the Observer) match that steals/owns the show (which is Ziggler’s line anyway)?

> Thanks.

Yeah, the whole shift to "moments" instead of trying to win matches is part of the problem with the product in general. Plus the Bayley match was watched by a low percentage of the TV audience, so bringing it up as some legendary thing is pretty myopic.
