Bayley's Raw career is on life support after the show's latest episode. Eliminated first in a gauntlet put together to establish a new contender for Alexa Bliss and the Raw Women's Title, the ex-champ barely looked like a threat to Nia Jax before being pinned. Looking like a jobber is not what Bayley should be doing.

That's how her loss to Nia came across though, as if she isn't good enough to even be in the title mix. Following up the lame 'Kendo Stick On A Pole' situation at Extreme Rules with that makes it look like Bayley's days on Raw are numbered. It's time for WWE to step in, play saviour and put the likeable babyface on SmackDown before she ends up a lost cause.

Switching Bayley for Becky Lynch opens up opportunities for both. Becky has already been explored, but as for Bayley, she'd benefit from warring with Natalya or even Lana; for the latter, perhaps focusing on the fact Bayley is a 'proper' wrestler rather than a throwback to Divas of the past would be an ideal starting point.
