5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Reason for change in Universal title look, Potential spoiler for Survivor Series match (15th November 2019) 

#3 Setting up a Bayley-Shayna Baszler feud in the future

Setting up a big future rivalry

When Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler had that tense confrontation on RAW in the sit-down interview, the assumption was that Bayley was just a background character in a Triple Threat match, with Lynch and Baszler being the focus.

It made sense in the storyline since Becky Lynch was the one who defeated Ronda Rousey and Baszler is one of Rousey's best friends and training partners. They have a long association together and it seemed like Bayley would be forgotten.

To our surprise, the opposite has been the case. Bayley and Baszler have quickly established a rivalry with each other and it's one that's not truly going to be realized until later. Baszler has been one of the most important NXT figures during the Survivor Series build (which shouldn't be surprising, since she is the Women's Champion) and she and along with Bayley, has managed to create quite some heat between them.

WWE is planting the seeds for a Bayley vs Baszler feud in the future. Who the babyface would be in that situation, it would be hard to tell. But if Bayley is still a heel, it's a good opportunity for a heel vs heel feud.
