10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Sept 26)
7. Sasha Banks Blames Bayley For Charlotte's Win
Any time the pair have appeared on television, Sasha Banks and Bayley have been portrayed as friends. Their past in NXT has been acknowledged in promos on Monday Night Raw, but such goodwill can only last for so long. The night after Clash Of Champions might be the ideal time to move away from happy-go-lucky friendship.
At the pay-per-view, it'd be interesting if Bayley actually ended up getting in Sasha's way, allowing Charlotte to capitalise and leave as Raw Women's Champion. After the match, Bayley could be apologetic, but be met with a horrific glare from her friend. That would have to be furthered the next night on Raw.
Irritable, Banks calls out Bayley and scolds her for even becoming involved in the title situation. Coming across as completely selfish, Sasha would excel with a little more freedom to spit venom that's more closely associated with regular heels on the roster.
Bayley's 'girl next door' character naturally soaks up such admonishment, leading to fan sympathy. Sasha wouldn't need to be a flat out villain, but she'd be reacting to disappointment like a real person would.
