Both Bayley and Sasha Banks could do with a change of scenery and a move to SmackDown in this Superstar Shakeup. There's a sense that won't happen though until WWE have finished prolonging their uneasy friendship story on Raw against newcomers the Riott Squad.

Why else would Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan be booked to attack the pair this past Monday?

There's a tag match coming, and it'll likely lead to a heel turn for either Banks or Bayley; it's unclear who would be best, because (again) both need something new to freshen them up. At the very least, working with them will give the untested Riott trio some decent ring time on Raw.

That wasn't really the case when all three were working on SmackDown. Their matches were on the shorter side, so that extra hour on Mondays will (theoretically) help them progress as workers.
