10 Quick Fixes For WWE's Women's Division In 2020

7. Sasha Banks Turns On Bayley

A dark horse to win the Royal Rumble match, Sasha Banks hasn't had a lot going on since her Hell In A Cell loss to Becky Lynch, and how long can that run of form realistically continue?

'The Boss' came back with revived motivation after a challenging few years on the main roster, and has been a useful sidekick to SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley sincer her own aspirations crumbled yet again. A Rumble victory forces the conversation the two have thus far avoided having - what would happen if friends became enemies yet again?

Bayley's middling heel run has showed flashes of brilliance in between some pretty boring battles, but her best work always came opposite her IRL best friend. A feud between the two on either side of the heel/face divide is never a chore, but they've never yet battled with only Sasha as a babyface.

A WrestleMania 36 singles match 12 months on from an extremely difficult 'Show Of Shows' for the both of them would at least reflect a year of positive change rather than some of the wheel-spinning they've had to endure.
