7 Things That Must Happen At NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II

2. A Send-Off For Bayley

Bayley made her main roster debut at Battleground as Sasha Banks' mystery partner, and she was greeted like a long lost hero. Anyone who had reservations about the former NXT Women's Champion on the main roster felt very silly, and it was clear to anyone and everyone that the bigger stage beckons.

All of which means Asuka simply must retain her title on Saturday night. Whether that is by going full heel or just by being Asuka depends on your future plan, but Bayley winning would be a baffling decision on all sides.

What it should (and surely will) be is a hard-hitting battle that both need to dig deep to survive, with Bayley losing but then getting the ring to hug and say goodbye to her adoring throng. The main roster awaits and someone does need to put Eva Marie in her place after all (besides WWE's Wellness Policy people, that is).
