Top 5 WWE Rumors Of The Week - January 8th, 2018

#4 Bayley's backstage status

Will she ever hold a championship again?

Bayley was heavily hyped when she came up from NXT but since then, nothing has really amounted to anything for her. She has picked up a couple of titles along the way but they could be looked at as superficial because she wasn't booked as a strong champion at all.

Now that the Women's Royal Rumble is on the horizon it will be interesting to see how they'll let Bayley be featured in that war.

If Dave Meltzer's words on Wrestling Observer Radio are any indication of things, then Bayley's in for a long ride for the rest of her WWE career unless she can turn the nose up on her career that seems to be in a current nosedive to obscurity.

“They have already given up on her. And they’ve given up on her a long long time ago. When they’re gonna protect Mickie James over you when Mickie James was brought in to be a filler to lose on the roster, that just tells you. The dice has been cast with her already.”

It's sad when top superstars with so much potential have their push cancelled.
