10 Ways WWE Fixed Broken NXT Call-Ups
2. Bayley
The heel turn was far from the fix.
Bayley smiled an evil smile before bringing a chair across the back of Becky Lynch when she stayed true to her friendship with Sasha Banks at the expense of everything that had come before it. She wiped the expression off her face completely - along with every other one - when she embraced the switch with a completely overhauled aesthetic, but nothing truly clicked until she got back to business with ‘The Boss’.
The pair of them started 2020 taunting Lacey Evans’ daughter, and it seemed to inspire a crucial sense of silliness that they’ve since manufactured into becoming the most over act in the company alongside an anxious wait for their split.
In-ring wasn’t ever likely to be a worry for the former NXT Champion, but she’s refined her style to fit her character and the empty arena environment. Mocking Michael Cole, finding shortcuts, taking water breaks and benefitting from the protection still offered by Banks, she’s finally as skilled at keeping her belt through inspired hijinks as she used to be as a TakeOver showstealer.
