Predicting The Raw Vs SmackDown WWE Survivor Series 2019 Card

2. Sasha Banks Vs Bayley

Positioned together since Sasha Banks' post-SummerSlam return, the prospect of these two taking each other on despite still being best friends (and heels) offers a potentially fascinating glimpse of a WrestleMania-worthy dream match between the two.

Currently the primary irritants of the women's division, Banks and Bayley's unwillingness to fight one another could first be played for laughs before resulting blows when both women secretly and cynically try to steal the win from the other.

At that point, prior chemistry between them dictates 'The Boss' taking control and feeding 'The Hugger's possible comeback, before the whole thing gets thrown out when prior feuding brand team captains Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair reignite their separate rivalries with the pair.

This is the magic here - a recent Raw tag team clash (the first ever all-and-only Four Horsewomen clash on the main roster) between the quartet served as a reminder of why they've been the driving force of a revolutionary division and how ridiculous it is that they aren't always pushed as such.

More of the same, not least with all these new interconnecting arcs, would make for perfect Royal Rumble and WrestleMania builds, depending on what the company has in mind for the 'Show Of Shows' in 2020.
