WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Nov 2)

7. AJ Lee vs. Alicia Fox: The Neverending Non-Story

WWE.com

One thing that consistently bothers me in WWE is how rematch after rematch is booked and no one really acknowledges that they’re rematches. All WWE needs to do to to give the subsequent matches a hook is to have the loser cut a 15 second promo about how they feel they can do better, or how they’ve studied their last match and know what they did wrong. Now the rematch feels fresh. Okay, so at a least a littler fresher as AJ vs. Alicia Fox is fairly rotten to begin with. Sadly WWE doesn’t have 15 seconds to spare in their three hour Raws. They just give us leftovers and hope that we don’t notice.

This week on Raw, AJ Lee battled Alicia Fox for the fifth time in a one-on-one match on TV since September 29. That’s five times more than necessary. Okay fine, maybe four more than necessary. It’s just bizarre that WWE can’t figure out any other combinations of matches than giving us the same singles match over and over again. Could Natalya not step in for a weeks for a program against AJ? Or Cameron? Wait…no, that’s a bad idea.

WWE has done this to themselves out of sheer laziness, and their refusal to give any thought to the Divas division is a disturbing trend that just never seems to get better. Unfortunately, unless WWE cuts back on their TV time (highly doubtful) or hires a bunch more women (also doubtful), we’ll have to be satisfied with AJ vs. Alicia matches hitting triple digits in 2016 at this pace.
