10 New Directions For WWE After Royal Rumble 2022
3. Or Bayley’s Return?
Triple Threat, anyone?
Bayley tweeted out a picture of herself watching the Rumble at home. The currently-injured star is rumoured to be launching her comeback before WrestleMania 38 goes down, and that's why she's included here. Could Bayley make a run-in on Sasha's own title tilt and turn that SmackDown Women's Championship match into a three-way?
Don't rule it out. WWE will need something meaningful for Bayley to do when she returns (she ain't challenging for the Women's Tag belts or working some pre-show Battle Royal, that's for damn certain), and this is just the ticket. Besides, there's so much lore there between Bayley and Banks that's begging to be explored.
If the Raw Women's Title bout is going to be a singles, then WWE might fancy mixing things up on the SmackDown side by presenting something different. This would be the best play they've got. Nobody else on the women's roster is as credible as the twin-pronged attack of Sasha and Bayley.
