8 Next Steps For WWE Raw Women’s Championship
1. As The Boss Turns
Bayley defeating Sasha Banks for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania would be a storybook ending, which might sound great in a movie, but it doesn’t quite work when you have a live Raw the next night.
That’s why a perfect way to turn things on their head would be for Sasha to turn on Bayley at or shortly after WrestleMania, possibly on Raw the next night. Let’s face it: Fans have been cheering for Banks, but her Boss persona is better suited as a heel in the long-term. Plus, Sasha turning on Bayley would put her back in a familiar position: a vulnerable underdog. And we’ve seen these two tangle in those roles before in NXT, and it worked extremely well then, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t again.
Sasha could capture the title from Bayley in a rematch and then the chase would be on, but with a twist. From there, you have a new dynamic with Sasha as a heel champ, and that could carry WWE well into 2017.
All of this is obviously speculative and assumes a lot. Any one of these variables could change everything in a moment, so it by no means should be taken as anything more than a thought exercise using the information we have at hand right now. It would be great to see WWE’s women’s division progress beyond the Charlotte/Sasha show, and this is one way it could.
