10 most overrated matches in WWE in 2017

#2 Alexa Bliss vs Bayley, Extreme Rules

Alexa Bliss and Bayley under-delivered.

2017 saw the rise of Alexa as the top female star on the main roster. After she overachieved on SmackDown Live, she had the opportunity to do much the same on Raw. Similar to her Tuesday night work, on Mondays she thrived on charisma, strong promo work, and continuing to improve as an in-ring performer.

Post-WrestleMania, Bliss feuded with Bayley, including taking the Raw Women’s Championship off of her. The feud wasn’t exactly stellar—particularly for how respected Bayley is and how far Bliss seemed to have come. The promos—in particular, a “This Is Your Life” attempt—were uncharacteristically weak, and the matches were only OK.

Their Kendo Stick on a Pole Match at Extreme Rules was particularly lacklustre. The match was stunted by typical “something on a pole” limitations of repetitive action, and Bliss beating down Bayley, in the end, came across as completely joyless.
