6 New Directions For WWE After SummerSlam 2017

3. Sasha Banks Feuding With Bayley

Pause SummerSlam at exactly the right moment and you'll see Bayley giving Sasha Banks a frosty glare from behind as her pal prepared to win the Raw Women's Title. There's no way this was coincidence. WWE have changed direction on us; instead of the Banks heel turn that seemed so obvious, could it be Bayley who goes rogue?

Fans have been booing the huggable babyface lately. Her one-dimensional, goody-two-shoes style has started to annoy people, so a heel turn could be on the horizon. It'd be more effective if it happened against Sasha than anyone else too, and that appears to be WWE's grand plan.

Again, Alexa Bliss will get a rematch. That's unlikely to be on pay-per-view however, because there's no desire to see another Banks vs. Bliss match on that platform. If it happens on Raw, then keep an eye on Bayley. She may just be about to show another side of her character.
