#2 WWE Draft and Sasha Banks

Best friends! But for how long?

In the upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown, WWE will conduct its fourteenth draft during which Superstars would be shuffled between the two brands. The draft-pick will continue on RAW in the following week as the event has been scheduled to unfold on 11th and 14th October 2019.

With Bayley losing her title and Sasha Banks losing her title challenge against Becky Lynch, it can be expected that WWE will draft both these ‘best-friends’ to the same brand.

Time and again, Bayley has mentioned that she values her loyalty to her friend more than anything. But we also know that Sasha Banks is an opportunist who might stab Bayley in the back within the blink of an eye.

Maybe WWE are planning to bring them together and start again as a Tag Team. Now, remember, the ‘Boss n Hug connection’ were the first to become Women’s Tag Team Champions before dropping the titles at WrestleMania.

Even during that title-run, Bayley did most of the work. WWE will look to capitalize on the history that they share and take their time to book an inevitable feud between these two best friends.

But for that, they need them to share the ring every week.

Now that the wild card rule will be negated, picking them for the same brand at the upcoming WWE draft makes more sense. Additionally, they both lost crucial matches tonight which will play a major factor in narrating their story going forward.

Talk about perfect timing...
