10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (March 6)
5. Sasha Banks Congratulates Bayley But Warns Her About 'Mania
Sasha Banks and Bayley have been cast as the best of friends ever since the latter crash-landed on the WWE main roster last Summer, but such giddy, childlike harmony can't last forever when there are titles at stake.
That would be the crux of a confrontation between both women backstage on Monday Night Raw; approaching her pal and making sure to congratulate Bayley on ending Charlotte Flair's pay-per-view winning streak at Fastlane, a motivated Banks would then remark that friendship doesn't mean she won't take the Raw Women's Title from Bayley in time for WrestleMania.
Instantly, this puts over the importance of the show and also continues hinting at a slow-burning heel turn for 'The Boss', an alignment change that could erupt in time for 'Mania or at the event itself.
It's vital that Bayley doesn't no-sell what is effectively a challenge for the championship from her best friend; whether emotionally cut up about the moment or inspired, the champ must look conflicted when Sasha draws a line in the sand and outright puts the title before their friendship.
