With the Sasha Banks-Charlotte Flair program put to bed (for now, anyway - Banks is still owed a rematch for the Raw Women's Championship), Charlotte has moved on to defending her title against old friend/foe Bayley. For the past month, Bayley has been getting under Charlotte's skin, while the second-generation star has been trying her best to position herself as above her challenger.

Bayley is set to take on Charlotte for the belt at the Rumble, and given enough time, the match could be excellent. That said, there's almost no chance that Bayley is going to come out of it with the title. Their feud is still relatively fresh and something that can be revisited in the future, and after all of the Raw Women's Title switches in the past six months, the belt could do with at least a little bit of stability.

There's also the issue of Charlotte's undefeated PPV streak. Since debuting on the main roster, Charlotte hasn't lost a singles match at a Pay-Per-View event, and this seems like an inauspicious occasion to change that. More likely, she'll lose her belt at WrestleMania.
