10 Brand New WWE Feuds For Heel Bayley

2. Lita

Bayley and Sasha Banks' online fawning over a possible tag team contest against Lita and Trish Stratus bordered on the tragic ahead of a WrestleMania match that ended with far more disappointment than simply suffering having to work against lesser opponents, but with Trish Stratus now retired, the Attitude Era star could be a legend for the heel 'Hugger' to kill.

A unashamed Hardy Boyz/Lita mark in her youth, Bayley could channel disappointment from her actual past to inform an intense present before the fight itself. What was once admiration could be repositioned as disdain, not least for the fact that neither Lita nor Trish ever did really acknowledge the endless challenges laid out by the Boss 'N' Hug Connection when there was a 'Show Of Show' Women's Tag Team Title match just waiting to be saved.

Lita - unlike select others in this list and sadly far too many on the existing roster - is a proven draw. A Lita/Bayley battle, pushed and promoted with some significance, could easily satisfy a solid billing on a major show.
