Ever since her debut, Bayley was always a
babyface and always known as this over the
top cheerful and happy character
The Bayley character in NXT was all about
hugging other people and never got really
serious for matches
However, this changed when Bayley was called
to the main roster.
She still had the hugger persona, but it was
very toned down compared to how she once was
in NXT
Bayley still had lots of success with the
hugger persona, capturing the women’s titles
as well as becoming the first ever women’s
tag team champions with Sasha banks, but something
was still off about the character and it seemed
like wwe wanted to take her in another direction
That’s when Bayley turned heel.
Now Bayley’s turn was actually well written
and took place over several weeks
We had the initial turn from Bayley when she
attacked Becky Lynch with a chair to prove
her loyalty to Sasha banks, but that wasn’t
her full heel turning moment
Bayley was more of a tweener for the next
several weeks after that.
She still came out as the hugger and called
herself a role model, but fans started to
turn on Bayley
Bayley even started using heel like tactics
to win matches while still playing the hugger
persona, so that was good foreshadowing that
a bigger turn was coming
This lead to Bayley losing the Smackdown women’s
title to Charlotte, but she did regain the
title a few days later after she fully broke
and went full blown heel
Taking out the inflatable tube men and showing
off a new haircut and persona, the official
heel Bayley had arrived and captured the women’s
title on that same night
Now one of the biggest issues for Bayley’s
reign has been her lack of serious contenders
for her title
It’s being reported that Bayley is about
to be in a long program with Naomi, so that’s
definitely a great contender, but many fans
feel like Bayley’s best contender is standing
right by her side and that’s Sasha Banks
So for this story we’ll be looking at how
another Sasha Banks vs Bayley match could
happen
Let’s go back to NXT Takeover Brooklyn 2015,
Sasha Banks vs Bayley for the NXT women’s
championship
Sasha Banks vs Bayley in 2015 had it all,
from flawless story telling leading up to
the match, to just an outstanding performance
in the ring by the both of them
The story there was that Bayley was the “nice
girl” that could never win the big matches
and was just a joke of a wrestler.
While Sasha on the other hand, was on top
of the mountain as NXT women’s champion
and was also just debuting on the main roster
as well.
Bayley ended up winning that iconic match
and the four horsewomen celebrated in the
ring right after
Now ever since that night in 2015, wwe hasn’t
been able to recreate that same hype with
another Sasha vs Bayley match
The two started off as best friends on the
main roster, but in 2018, tension started
to rise between the two of them
Sasha was acting pretty shady and Bayley eventually
picked up on this and they started arguing
every week
The both of them got into some backstage fights
and were even sent to counseling to work things
out
We all thought this would lead to one of them
turning heel and giving us another sequel
to their phenomenal matches from NXT, but
that wasn’t the case
The break up story was just dropped and they
just fixed their issues and became best friends
again, which really put an end to all that
story line potential
So let’s bring that same break up idea over
to current day
Bayley is the champion and Sasha serves as
her right hand woman and you have to wonder
if Sasha will ever get tired of just standing
aside Bayley and decide to go after that championship
herself
Sasha had a great return story going for a
while, claiming that she’s a huge star that
should only be competing in main event title
matches
Sasha did get a few titles matches against
Becky Lynch when she returned and many expected
her to win the title from Becky to complete
her return story, but that never happened
Sasha lost to Becky several times and was
then sent over to Smackdown
Since aligning with Bayley, Sasha’s singles
career seems like it’s taken a brief pause,
so let’s get it back on track
Bayley is in trouble after a match, just being
stomped on by a few superstars
Out comes Sasha to make her return and comes
to the aid of Bayley
Sasha checks in on Bayley and helps her up
while yelling at the girls that were stomping
Bayley
Sasha and Bayley pose in the middle of the
ring to close out the show, but Sasha super
kicks Bayley and laughs before picking up
the Smackdown women’s title and raising
it over a beaten down Bayley
This leads to Sasha commenting on how Bayley
was only champion because Sasha was always
there to watch her back and protect her and
now Bayley is nothing without her.
You can even reveal that Sasha was the one
who organized that attack from the other girls
on Bayley as well.
Sasha would make it clear that Bayley had
a good run, but it was time for that title
to come over to someone that actually deserves
it
The part that I’m stuck with here is who’s
the face and who’s the heel?
Sasha clearly sounds like the heel in this
story, but that means Bayley would go back
to being a babyface so soon and I don’t
know how I feel about that because there was
so much potential with heel Bayley
So maybe they’ll both still be heel, but
Sasha is still clearly the darker heel of
the two
This makes Sasha Banks look like the biggest
threat to Bayley ever since she literally
knows everything about Bayley.
However, this also finally gives Bayley a
chance to be on her own away from Sasha and
prove that she deserves her title
So both characters have a motive and something
to prove heading into their one on one match
and the match will actually mean something
again like it once did in NXT
A match of this standard has Wrestlemania
or Summerslam written all over it, it definitely
deserves a big stage
As far as the winner goes, I think you have
to give the title to Sasha and then maybe
Bayley could go back on the journey to regain
the title
But that’s just a simple concept on how
we can have another Sasha Banks vs Bayley
feud
