10 Brand New WWE Feuds For Heel Bayley

Should she manage to slay one dragon that had scorched her in NXT in Asuka, could Bayley then turn her focus on the woman who had previously tried to salvage some kind of future for the 'Empress Of Tomorrow'?

Paige is currently turning a neck collar into a fashion accessory after recent corrective surgery, suggesting that she may not have quite given up on her career even if her body begged her to at the end of 2017. A heel-turned Bayley could sap any remaining sympathy by cruelly decking her, even if the attack can't lead to an actual match between the two.

The 'Anti-Diva' and former NXT Champion has little history with the 'Hugger' other than their brief shared time on the black-and-gold brand, but her short comeback was terminated during Absolution's nascent rivalry with Bayley and partner Sasha Banks. Banks, in fact, was the final performer she physically interacted with on that fateful night - the villainous Boss 'N' Hug Connection would almost certainly find humour rather than humility in this set of circumstances should the Brit find herself fit enough to run the ropes one more time.
