#4 The slow build to an eventual Bayley-Sasha Banks feud
Ad
Bayley and Banks
Fans of Bayley and Sasha Banks might remember that these two have feuded on the main roster in the past, in what can only be deemed as a forgettable rivalry. It was speculated by many that the rivalry would culminate in a big one-on-one contest at WrestleMania 34. Instead, both women were put in the first-ever WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal on the pre-show. The free-for-all was won by Naomi, who eliminated Bayley to win the match.
Ever since Bayley turned heel last year, she has been featured heavily as SmackDown's top female Superstar, with Sasha by her side at all times. Banks has helped Bayley retain her title belt on several occasions. Fans must also have noticed how Banks has been eyeing the Women's title a lot lately and hinting a split somewhere down the line. Banks also signaled recently that the feud could kick off on the road to SummerSlam, culminating in a match at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Compared to the duo's feud from years ago, Vince McMahon is handling it incredibly well this time around, and it seems to be leading towards a massive payoff for Banks when she finally splits with Bayley and hopefully defeats her to bag the Women's title.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
