It is no secret that WWE RAW has seen some of its lowest viewership numbers during the current pandemic, obviously due to the lack of a live audience, which is the lifeline of just about any WWE show. Sasha Banks and Bayley have clearly been the breakout stars during this current audience-less era of WWE and Vince McMahon would ideally want them on both WWE RAW and SmackDown to ensure that the ratings stay safe and secure for the time being.
And before you suggest that Sasha Banks and Bayley's push will come at the cost of Asuka, I do not mean to imply this at all, with my assessment at least. It makes sense for a heel to have the title during the pandemic and Asuka can defeat Sasha Banks to win the WWE RAW Women's Championship once the crowds are back in the arena once more. For now, it's impossible to deny that Sasha Banks and Bayley on both WWE RAW and SmackDown will help the product.
