10 Potential Feuds For Bayley Upon Her WWE Return
3. Io Shirai
Io Shirai has faced Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks and now it's Bayley's turn to go up against one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
Shirai has been on NXT for a while and despite her championship reigns, in-ring work, and cool tweener look, she doesn't quite fit in with what is going on in NXT 2.0. Maybe it's time for her to officially move to the main roster, and who better to greet her in the Royal Rumble than a returning Bayley, with the two facing off in the number 1 and 2 position.
The scenario here is to make a new star on the main roster. Io Shirai is that star and, if treated correctly, could be on the same level as Bianca Belair. Having these two women go the distance from the first two to the last two would be incredible and it wouldn't matter who wins. They both need and deserve it but maybe holding off on Shirai winning for another year would be the smart move. Bayley choosing her champion, winning in the Mania main event, and then feuding with Shirai over the summer sounds like a great road to SummerSlam.
