This Christmas, yours truly is asking for three things.

A PS5, for this nasty virus to bugger off and for Sasha Banks vs. Bayley to be one of the marquee feuds at WrestleMania 37. Both women certainly deserve it. Bayley sucked during the first part of her heel run, but she's found her feet and become one of the best characters on the roster. Meanwhile, Banks has been a brilliant complement to her work.

On SmackDown, the pair teased yet more dissension in their midst during an interview with Corey Graves. He wanted to know why Bayley was wrestling Asuka first at SummerSlam, and the SmackDown Women's Champ palmed off his attempts to cause friction by saying Sasha would've been happy to do the same.

That led to some magical facial expressions from Banks that sold the bubbling competitiveness between these women.

Side note: Naomi's involvement wasn't a bad idea either. She's way too talented for that Lacey Evans feud WWE had going on.
