#4 Bayley and Sasha's travels to other brands

Bayley and Sasha Banks captured the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles for a second time on June 5th, 2020 on SmackDown. This not only tied them for the most reigns with the titles, but also made Bayley a double champion.

Bayley held the SmackDown Women's Championship for eight months at this point. Dubbing herself Two Belts Bayley as a knock to fellow Four Horsewoman Becky Lynch, the Role Model and her best friend didn't stop there. Sasha Banks would go on to win the RAW Women's Championship soon after.

This Two-Woman Power Trip ran rampant on every single brand. With obligations to appear on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, we saw them three nights a week on a semi-regular basis.

Their time together forced the rest of the divisions to step up in an effort to dethrone both champions. It was a pretty exciting time, and also saw the duo run multiple feuds at once.


#3 Bayley betrays Sasha Banks

It was a dark day in WWE history when Bayley attacked Sasha Banks in September 2020. After Banks lost the RAW Women's Championship to Asuka at SummerSlam, The Golden Role Models lost their tag team titles to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.

After losing a rematch, Bayley went crazy. Banks injured her knee during the match, and after it looked like Bayley was going to help her friend to the back, she laid into a weakened Banks. She didn't stop at damaging the injured leg, however. She wrapped a chair around Banks' head and delivered a diving stomp, looking to end her career for good.

Banks had turned her back on Bayley many times throughout their careers. Though Bayley got a little revenge in 2018, she let all her frustrations out in 2020. She demolished Banks in one of the most memorable moments of the ThunderDome era.
