These two best-friends will eventually engage in a feud but what about right now?

Probably the only person who could serve as an ideal challenger for Bayley is none other than her best friend, Sasha Banks. Although a rivalry between them is inevitable, the duo is currently going strong on the Blue brand.

Don’t get me wrong, Bayley and Banks are incredible together. However, their time together on SmackDown has led to both these Superstars sharing the spotlight. This has taken away a lot of attention from Bayley’s heel persona. The creative have tried to keep the ‘Legit Boss’ in the background during Bayley’s segments but Banks is way too appealing for the fans to ignore.

For Bayley to be an equally good heel, she needs more brutality and intensity in her character. She needs segments that will portray her in a stronger light, focussing solely on her, especially when she is the Champion.
