I don't like them passing the women's title around so much as I think it diminishes it. I'm not sure Naomi should ever have won the Smackdown women's title, let alone so soon into Bliss's reign. Now Bayley wins the Raw women's title for the first time the very next night. It creates a sort of a "everybody gets a turn" atmosphere that I don't really like.
I also thought that this wasn't the time to have Bayley win the title. She should have beaten Charlotte by ending her winning streak on pay per view at Wrestlemania. The pacing of this win just isn't quite right - I feel like Bayley could have done with a little longer to cement herself as the true underdog. A couple of more occasions where she didn't quite get the job done would have set the table perfectly for her title win.
But with all that being said, I just watched the match and thought the whole thing came off superbly on television. So it's a little hard to be negative about it in the moment. The match was really good, the finish was really good and the crowd went freaking nuts when she won. Bayley looked like a star and it came off like a big main event moment that will be remembered. So while this wasn't when I would have done it, at least it was done really well.
