7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw Superstar Shakeup
2. Boss Drops Hints
The smiling babyface that is Sasha Banks looks like she could be on the way out, to be replaced by a more heelish, villainous version of herself.
Banks has enjoyed success as a good girl, but she is a pretty effective heel. And let’s face it: Bayley plays better against a villain than a best friend asking for a title shot. Monday, Sasha smirked a little and then introduced the Raw Women’s Champion as “Just Bayley,” a derisive nickname that Charlotte Flair used. Whether that’s Sasha putting down a marker or just reclaiming that insult remains to be seen.
But Banks definitely had a bit of an edge as far as how she strutted down to the ring and how she acted inside. If she is indeed turning, this was a nice, subtle way to start things. If she’s merely tossing out a few hints for whatever reason, then so be it.
Either way, Banks' attitude coincided with two new faces joining the Raw roster: Mickie James and Alexa Bliss, which could be a fun development for the women of Raw.
