10 Things That Are Inevitable Before WWE WrestleMania 33

9. Bayley Will Be Called Up

Bayley’s appearance as Sasha Banks’ mystery partner at Battleground garnered a huge reaction from the crowd. Though it’s often speculated that WWE’s main roster audience aren’t always completely well-versed in NXT, that pop signified that Bayley’s appeal stretches way beyond developmental, and she’s already one of the most popular women in the company today.

Though Bayley went back to NXT after that appearance (and will face Asuka for the NXT Women’s Title this weekend), her place on the main roster is more than assured. If she wasn’t already heading up, her Battleground appearance cemented it, and whenever she appears, Bayley’s going to make major waves straight away.

She’s done all there is to do at Full Sail University, and it’s unlikely that she’ll win the belt back from Asuka this weekend. With nothing left to tie her to NXT, Bayley can jump onto either Raw or SmackDown’s women’s roster and be an immediate key player. SmackDown’s lack of star power means the blue brand could definitely use her more, but she has great chemistry with Banks and Charlotte on Raw, which may prove a deciding factor.

Whoever signs Bayley, who wouldn’t want to see the Four Horsewomen of NXT clash in an epic WrestleMania four-way match?
