7. Sasha Banks

An ego like Sasha Banks' can't handle playing second fiddle for too long and we saw the first signs of dissent between her and Bayley at WrestleMania 36, suggesting that WWE may finally be on the verge of running their singles rivalry back.

An inadvertent Bayley knee strike expedited Sasha's exit from the SmackDown Women's Championship match via Lacey Evans' Women's Right. Bayley ended up putting Evans away but the glances she and 'The Boss' exchanged after the bout were tense, despite not coming to blows. WWE showed an impressive level of restraint in that regard: it would've been easy to have the duo explode at 'The Show of Shows,' but the promotion is holding out for a bigger payoff later down the line.

Whatever way it happens, expect Banks to become a bigger force in the women's division immediately, as WWE continues to toy with her and Bayley's partnership. 'The Role Model' will likely fend off another lesser challenger in the interim, leaving her "best friend" to keep stewing on the sidelines, her resentment growing stronger by the week. Then: the turn, the snap, the feud, and the match.
