10 Brand New WWE Feuds For Heel Bayley

3. Asuka

Nobody was ready for Asuka in NXT, not least Bayley, despite two incredible TakeOver matches in 2016 ahead of her delayed main roster call-up.

Everything has changed since then.

Multi-time Women's Champion Bayley has had a better time of it across the brands, just. When Asuka surrendered her undefeated streak to Charlotte at WrestleMania 34 (and her SmackDown strap to her shortly before WrestleMania 35) she became little more than a member of the rank-and-file patiently waiting for something new to do.

Bayley's shown greater powers of recovery from bad booking before this heel turn, but stands to actively overpower it by finally taking some revenge on the 'Empress Of Tomorrow' as a newly-minted villain.

Tantalising when they were teased earlier this year, a series of matches between The Boss 'N' Hug Connection and The Sky Pirates could legitimately steal any show, even if they were only to build to an eventual showdown between these two storied rivals.

Bayley could never beat her clean, but she also never fought her dirty.
