It's disappointing that Bayley vs. Sasha Banks didn't make it onto the WrestleMania 34 card, but their tension isn't going anywhere, and WWE don't need to rush the blow-off.

Still, keeping the storyline going for another year would be tricky. Let's not forget that WWE started teasing dissolution in mid-2017, before returning to it earlier this January. They've laid enough groundwork, and with Bayley finally finding the assertiveness to stand up to her erstwhile ally, the duo are good to go. Their shared NXT history is there to be exploited, too, and if WWE hark back to it while simultaneously pushing forward, they'll build a 'Feud Of The Year' contender.

WWE must pull the trigger before interest levels start falling off, because it's already starting to feel like Bayley and Sasha are moving in circles. A big summer program commencing at Backlash, continuing for several months, before concluding in a big SummerSlam bout would be ideal.

If the bouts are anywhere near as good as the ones they had in NXT, and 'The Boss' reverts to her natural heel role, main roster excellence is all but guaranteed.
