The heart of the matter
Ember Moon made her SmackDown debut last night as she faced off against Becky Lynch. The fans in the arena were really invested in the moment but were interrupted by Bayley who also moved to SmackDown. Bayley was met by boos from the fans in the arena and Dave Meltzer later explained more about it on Wrestling Observer Radio:
"I heard it was worse live than it came off on TV. I heard she was booed really bad. That could be just that one crowd, because the same crowd cheered her the night before, so I don’t even get it, honestly.
“The way it was explained to me was that the fans were excited about Becky Lynch against Ember Moon and when Bayley came out and interrupted it, and they blame Bayley for interrupting their Becky Lynch/Ember Moon possible match that they wanted to see that was unique so that’s how it was explained.” H/T: Wrestle Zone
