10 Predicted End Dates For WWE’s Big Pushes

5. Bayley

Bayley's push is a very welcome development, and one WWE built steadily towards.

She showed renewed fire in a cracking SmackDown match with Charlotte Flair before capturing the Money In The Bank briefcase. Realistically, this all happened over the course of about three weeks and as a result of Sasha Banks' walk-out - look what definitely would have happened to you we promise - but maintaining the snark facade is quite difficult. The Money In The Bank angle played out magnificently. Bayley showed spirit, confidence, and her winning moral compass in a perfectly-constructed bit tight as hell in its plotting.

Maintaining the snark is also quite simple, because it's Bayley: hapless foil for WWE's preferred Women's division heel archetype. Cut to: Lacey Evans calling her a little girl before pampering herself with a handkerchief. Ideally, this happens after a big match with Charlotte Flair, because the physical chemistry they share is full-on and emotive, and the dynamic has evolved from 2017. The Queen is an even better performer, and Bayley surely wants to avenge her stigma as an utter geek on the pay-per-view stage.

Mandy Rose to make all of this sh*t-brained optimism in about three months, as Bayley forms a tag team with Naomi, or something.

Predicted End Date: Autumn 2019
